It kind of started around the time of the maritime radio telegraph. Some outside of America also used it. But then went back out of favor when direct radio communication became a thing, but kind of just stayed a thing in America. Good example of the problem would be. "WE TRIED TO MAKE HIM STOP STOP AND WE COULD NOT FIND A WAY TO STOP HIM STOP STOP AT ONCE AND COME HOME STOP" "WE TRIED TO MAKE HIM STOP FULL STOP AND WE COULD NOT FIND A WAY TO STOP HIM STOP FULL STOP AT ONCE AND COME HOME FULL STOP" "WE TRIED TO MAKE HIM STOP PERIOD AND WE COULD NOT FIND A WAY TO STOP HIM STOP PERIOD AT ONCE AND COME HOME PERIOD" Then you ask why not just use full stop as it mostly works even if it's a little awkward. But that's also because, full stop is an action you take on a boat as well. "YOU MUST COME TO A FULL STOP FULL STOP" So things were changed for a time to try and prevent misunderstandings during CQD or SOS calls, when misunderstandings could be very deadly.
But surely you are aware of the interjection using some "non-negotioable" sentence and follow it up with period - as in full stop. "The dog has to go because pets aren't allowed - period." Technically period describes the symbol while full stop describes the symbol used as a sentence end.
@@Finsternis.. Honestly... No. My understanding of more indepth thing of English is terrible. I only barely scraped a pass through as a subject during all my time at school. You'd think I'd be better since it's the one and only language I know, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Finsternis.. Nope, period is just a north american thing. "The full stop, period, or full point is a punctuation mark used for several purposes, most often to mark the end of a declarative sentence."
Then in Japan theres a dot between foreign names written in katakana called “nakaguro” 「中点」which looks like a full-stop 「・」 but isn't; it's also a pain to enter in some IMEs. Instead, the Japanese equivalent of a full-stop is 「。」 which is called a “kuten” 「句点」 which looks exactly like the kana phonetic marker 「゜」 known as the “handakuten” 「半濁点」 used to make p-sounds from h-kana like は into ぱ.
There’s also the interpunct “ • ” which was used between words (ie instead of spaces) in classical Latin, and is used in traditional editing or word processing programs to mark up places that a normal space needs to be in the final product, so you can tell it apart from the several dozen other kinds of whitespace characters.
I feel like this is the conversation you would have when you're baked out of your mind. I've heard people use both, mainly full stop, but period isn't uncommon either, so no one would get confused.
I've never heard someone use "full stop" to refer to a period irl, the only time it's ever used that i've heard is in the phrase "Wait, full stop, what?" (or something along those lines, haha)
Funny how at least in the US (and I guess Canada going by Kronii here) we will use both full stop and period in expressions. Like "Never do this again, period" or "Never do this again, full stop" but nobody seems to realize full stop and period both refer to that sentence-ending dot.
To be fair, people who use "period" saying "full stop" in that manner usually do not know it could refer to punctuation at all. They include "full stop" because they heard it used somewhere and it sounds very final. Use of "full stop" instead of "period" when referring to punctuation usually means someone learned English outside of North America. Like when people say "lift" and "torch" they are likely from the UK while "elevator" and "flashlight" are common to NA.
I'm not exactly sure on how we came to use the word 'period' to represent the full stop; I would have to do a bit of digging in to that. I do know the change over occurred during the life time of the telegraph system in North America. Though I am sure there is also more to it than even that, as how it was represented was probably a little different, depending on how the telegraph message was formatted. Some of that was, likely, carried over in to the days of the typewriter. There is a habit of older Gen X and Boomers placing two spaces after the period/full stop. There is likely something to that that was a hold over from the telegraph days. It's funny how even in typing, sort of, for lack of a better term, dialects form in the way a language is written.
It makes me kinda happy that Kaela uses 'full stop' too, though here in Australia people still know 'period' means the same thing. Also it's kinda funny seeing people in the comments who have never heard of a full stop.
Hearing Americans (and Canadians) saying "period" all the time took some getting used to at first. Considering the other meaning of the word, it's a weird one to hear randomly at the end of a sentence
I've heard people use "full stop" before. And iirc, my teacher taught it to me as both full stop and period. I guess I've always said it as period since it's easier. Full stop does sound more formal though
@@201bioActually period is commonly used in indonesia i think, its because american movie that influence most of it, since kaela never watch movie, yeah i dont know either why kaela use full stop, im indonesian btw but i just knowing full stop from kaela today

That's not to-may-to vs. to-mah-to, that's "football" vs. "soccer" or "football" vs. "rugby" (depending on what you mean by "football"), or potato chips vs. potato crisps.
In Indonesia, words from both English versions are usually included in the translation dictionary. The word full stop is more used or taught in schools because it makes more sense to call it that way to end a statement sentence.
translation of "dot" (used in sentence) in Indonesian is literally still "dot" (which can also be used as "point"). I don't understand why kaela use full-stop instead of dot 😂
I use period but I've always known it as a full stop. Like your completely stopping a sentence, whereas with a comma, it would be like stopping the sentence for a little bit and then continuing on with the next point. I don't know if this makes sense, it sounds better in my head.
In russian period (.) called "точка" (read as "tochka"), comma (,) is called "запятая" ("zapyataya"), colon (:) - "двоеточие" ("dvoetochie", meaning as double period/dot), semicolon (;) - "точка с запятой" ("tochka s zapyatoy", this time it literally both words with union)
So a full stop is actually different from a period: think of a typewriter, when you hit the edge of a paper they would use a full stop to start the next line, a period however denotes the end of a sentence. I'm guessing that some parts of the world use them interchangeably
My understanding is that, while the difference you describe is true in technical registers across the English-speaking world, outside of editing and typography, American English speakers almost exclusively use the term “period” for the punctuation mark when there’s no reason to make that distinction, where British English speakers almost exclusively use the term “full stop.” I’d presume most other Eastern Hemisphere dialects, like Australian English, follows the British model, and Canadians tend to use a mix of British and American words in their inventories depending on when it caught on so no clue which would be the norm there.
@@IONATVSI’ve only heard period here in Canada, but I think most people here would also recognize the meaning of full stop, which we might use sometimes for effect, like in dramatic speaking.

"Full stop" comes from Morse code, where "stop" was a space and full stop was marking the end of the sentence.
nah, its older than that, it was used when reciting a letter for a scribe to write, the expression of saying full stop that is.
