You boogers wish. By the way, the punctuation goes inside the quotes. For example: "keep it down home cuz." You see how the punctuation went inside the quotes?

I'm sure English wasn't a priority in your Sociology classes.

Actually in this case, the punctuation should go outside the quote. "Antonio Langham" is not a question; to put the punctuation within the quotes would be misleading, as though the author were trying to say "Antonio Langham" as a question. Which he clearly wasn't trying to do. He simply asked a question.

Ex 1: What did you do when he said "I'm sure English wasn't a priority in your Sociology classes"?

"I'm sure English wasn't a priority in your Sociology classes" is a statement, but I said it within a question. Therefore, the question mark goes outside the quotes.

Ex 2: He asked, "Are you going to the game?"

In this example, he is asking a question, but the author is making a declarative statement. The punctuation mark goes inside the quotes.

War damn eagle!

The more important question is, what does WRAS's comment about AU in this post have to do with the link?
