Pink Poogle Toy Forum • Grammatical error

And I believe the meaning Rachel's alluding to is synonymous with cycle anyway...so why wouldn't we use it? There's no particular reason NOT to use it.

As far as i can tell you have at least four meaning for the word "period"

Period - eg "period of time"
Period - eg "i just got my period"
Period - eg "put a period at the end of your sentance" - aka full stop
Period - eg "eeew, i have maths next period" - aka class/lesson

i just think its silly to have so many meanings for one word.

There's also at the end of the sentence, when you want to get your point across. eg -- Ice cream is the coolest. Period.

But usually, people only say 'Period.' at the end of sentences when they call the punctuation mark '.' a period.
I.e I'd say, ' Ice cream is the coolest. Full stop.'

The typo would be a mistake on phpBB's part, not PPT's. ^^

We call them periods in Canada. I've never heard it called a "full stop".

"Full stop" sounds like something you'd do while driving or playing music.

We've used that phrase in music class before.

What if the world decided to end this argument by adopting a telegraphic style so that everyone wrote "stop" instead of a thingie? That would be a disaster.

this is an example stop my dad is listening to a football game stop the washing machine is making sounds stop i am posting stop go is what a green light means stop a red light means stop stop

It would be in all caps too. >_<

Maybe I should start calling it a full stop...then it wouldn't be synonymous with something that tends to put any happiness I might be experiencing to a full stop.

Or I could just use other punctuation! There are so many solutions! We can just ignore it altogether! Who's with me? Who thinks I'm crazy? I do!
