Period or Full Stop?

[Cerpin Taxt]

There is nothing more annoying than a Neckbeard, period.

When used in the context above, I prefer "full stop."

When discussing actual punctuation, I use "period."

Period is US English. Full stop is UK English. Learn how to use Google.

Did not know that, bizarre I wonder what the etymology of period in this context is. :hmm:

I didn't, and frankly, I kinda' doubt you knew the etymology of "period" as it relates to its use for that dot at the end of sentences in grammar, either. 😉

Here it is:

I was referring to AstromanLuca's comment that one was US English and the other was UK English, rather than the etymology, sorry if that was unclear. I didn't feel like nesting the quote by hand. So hope that clears it up. Thanks for posting the etymology.

So stopping isn't really stopping unless you come to a full stop?
