My understanding is that if you are sending something in for the perusal of a publisher you'd better make sure there are two spaces after each period. But then again, I just recently found out that babies don't come from cabbage leaves, so....?

See! Women! Any excuse to have a whine about it. Seriously, Full Stop, much simpler, then we can all pretend the other thing doesn't exist and lead happy peaceful lives.

You know, Americans take a lot of crap for being narrow-minded, but then as soon as someone says "period" every non-American in earshot is just like "BLEAHGAH! WAHT AN INFERIOR WORD I WONT STAND FOR IT BLEARARHGHGHGA!!1!!@!11one." You don't see Americans freaking out when they hear "full stop."

I should set a reminder for 12 lunar months in the future, and PM you a link to this thread on that day, just to creep you out. Come to think of it, that would creep me out, too.

I think, and this is just a guess, but I think he wants to take less crap for being narrow-minded.

Oh boohoo Tamz. So you bleed from an orifice monthly, big bloody {pardon the pun} deal. Who do you think gets the worst of it? Guys, cause we have to listen to you guys play the martyr and bitch, bitch, bitch. And don't even get me started on the toilet seat crap you guys are pulling. It takes half a second to see that a toilet seat is up and put it down. If you don't check you deserve what you get. And don't EVEN get me started on childbirth...

It had to be done; they have to be told the simple god honest truth: "we don't want to know; you're on your own on this one!"
