1. Periods?
punctuation or menstruation? I'd look but that just seems like a quicksand pit. Wouldn't the second one be locked PDFQ as a bodily-fluids thread.

2. At the moment it's punctuation, specifically, one space or two after a sentence.
Menstruation is on deck.

4. Glad it's about grammar. I'd have to tell what the letters PMS stood for. Not pretty.

5. The TV thread is funny.
I just had to add my two cents.

9. I was going to post in that thread that the bible says 7 days after a period.
But I thought that would be in poor taste, so I saved it for the lounge.

10. It's Two Spaces After The Period.
Anyone who says different is a heathen.

13. Oh, I thought this would be referring either to menstruation or to periods in history!
So it's periods as in full stops? I can't really get worked up about full stops - full stop!
