    Nope, you end a sentence with period. Period. That’s just basic punctuation, like starting a sentence with a capital letter.

      Look, I explained how it developed and why it’s used that way. I also explained the difference between a “full stop” and a “period”. If your reading comprehension is that terrible, maybe don’t get involved in discussions about linguistics because it clearly went right over your simple minded little head.

        I have excellent reading comprehension skills, and I understand everything you wrote, and I stand by my response.

        And I said it without being a prick, too.

          No, you were a prick who talked past them.

          They very clearly and calmly explained the dynamics of both sides of this debate, and you responded by inanely reiterating your original point which they obviously already understood.
