	Punctuation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Punctuation marks are written symbols that do not correspond to either phonemes (sounds) of a spoken language nor to lexemes (words and phrases) of a written language, but which serve to organize or clarify written language.
		Nearly all of the punctuation marks used are larger than their Western counterparts, and occupy a square area that is the same size as the characters around them.
		The three underline-like punctuation marks in Chinese (proper noun mark, wavy book title mark, and emphasis mark) rotate and shift to the left side of the text in vertical script.

	Full stop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A full stop or period, also called a full point, is the punctuation mark commonly placed at the end of several different types of sentences in English and several other languages.
		The term full stop is less common in the United States and Canada, but is generally differentiated from period in contexts where both might be used: a full stop is specifically a delimiting piece of punctuation that represents the end a sentence.
		When a distinction is made, a period is then any appropriately sized and placed dot in English language text, including use in abbreviations (such as U.K. and at the ends of sentences, but excluding certain special uses of dots at the bottom of a line of text, such as ellipses.

	SP 7084 - Ch. 3
		The function of a punctuation mark is the basis for the rules governing its use and should be the basis for determining whether or not it is needed.

		The period, or full stop, is the first, most important punctuation mark.
		The period that marks an abbreviation is never omitted before a mark of sentence punctuation, except when the abbreviation comes at the end of a sentence.
		(The period is placed inside the parentheses and the material in parentheses starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, as in this example.) If, however, a sentence contains material in parentheses, then the period falls outside the parentheses (as illustrated here).

	She wrote book on punctuation, period
		Now, the reason I never thought seriously about writing a book about punctuation is that I was pretty sure that, no matter how sparklingly it was written, such a book would inspire a printing run of eight copies, seven of which would remain unsold and be recycled into greeting cards printed with soy ink.
		Copy editors are all about punctuation, as well as spelling and grammar.
		(Another clumsy example of the power of punctuation is the story about students who are asked to punctuate "Woman without her man is nothing." The men write "Woman, without her man, is nothing," while the women write "Woman: Without her, man is nothing." Yeah, the panda joke is cuter.)
