Okay, this question/problem has been floating around in my head for weeks now and I figured this forum is probably the best place for me to clear it up.

So in the following two sentences:

1) Is it rude in this country to use the term “flabbergasted“?
2) Is it rude in this country to use the term “flabbergasted?”

That quotation mark/question mark placement at the end. . . which one is grammatically correct? I’ve been using #1 lately because I feel like it makes more sense (since there’s no question mark in the term “flabbergasted”), but I don’t know if it’s actually right or not.

By the way, those two sentences are not to be confused with dialog:
Robert replied, “It’s only rude if you use it in front of the duck people.”

Thoughts? @wordsmith  @jenwriter17  @bigideaskc  @evelyn  @jenwriter17  @eden-anderson  @josiah  @i_have_no_idea_who_to_tag_:P
