periods

The Periods Page: .

Sigh.

The poor and humble period.

It ends things. Sentences usually.

But sometimes, for effect.

Just.

Words.

In mathematics the period is used as a decimal point.

But math doesn't count (joke).

On the internet a period is referred to as a "dot".

As in "Peanutbutterdotcom" which is how it's said; it's written as "Peanutbutter.com".

I'm not sure if I'd rather be a dot or a period.

Have you ever doodled with periods?

Try it sometime.

Make pictures by using lots and lots of periods.

This has nothing to do with the period as a punctuation mark, but it's fun, and you need to broaden your horizons anyway.

Periods can most often be found at the end of sentences.

They can also indicate abbreviations:

Rd.

St.

Etc.

Your initials: V. H. K. (actually those are my initials)

We also use them to form an ellipsis: . . .or not to be. . .

I'm unable to think of any more uses of the period. If you do, please write me.
