EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Mar 27, 2011 #6These are both unconventional ways of writing. By "unconventional," I mean that they do not strictly follow the rules. When someone uses the word "period" this way, it is a colloquialism. It is a creative way of expressing that something is absolutely a certain way. No more discussion is allowed. It will be this way. Period.Yet, when I put "period" by itself like that, it is an incomplete sentence. So, it does not follow the rules of grammar. But it is okay! It is a creative use of English.Will you please write a whole paragraph that ends this way so that I can be sure I understand what you mean?
