    Period is American for Full stop in English.
    Dot is the computer language for the same two words.
    Point is used in English in mathematical terms or fiscal terms eg. 10.265%
    If we stray away from these uses we will be big strife!:eek:

    Good "point"!

    Now I need to go clean my glasses. There's a big distracting "dot" in the middle of the right lens. Then I need to get my grandkid to hit the books, he has a big test first "period" on Monday. :p

    And, sense of humour, well here anyway. Point, nothing to do with question raised. Ouch.
