How many people here call the punctuation mark that consists of a singal dot a "period" verses how many call..?

YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally someone who knows proper english! It's called a full-stop people. Not a period. Just like a pound sign is really called an octothorpe

Period.

I live in the US and learned to call it a period, but I still prefer full stop. Punctuation was invented as instructions to actors in ancient Greece, to tell them how long to pause, a "period" being a whole note (ancient Greek Drama was sung as much as spoken), a colon being a three quarter not, a semi-colon being the half note, and a comma being the quarter note. Thus, full stop makes the most sense.

I call it a period, I have never heard it called a full stop.

Period but my mom calls it a full stop

I call it a period, never heard of it referred to as a full stop.

In the UK it's usually called a Full Stop. However the U.S. it's always just called a period.

Fun Fact: The three/four dots is called an"ellipsis". :D

Full Stop in Philippines, we learn English from British
