period ("full stop" for teacels)
- dot + space + Shift
- cramped, hard to read text
- rewrite the statement to cite
- no reliable way to automatically count statements/sentences, the sequence "dot + space + a capital letter" may occur after an abbreviation
- used to save physical space on paper, made obsolete by the invention of a screen
- enter
- lots of write space, easier on eyes
- write the line number to cite
- to count statements/sentences simply remove white lines and count the number of lines (literally a one-liner:
sed '/^$/d' FILENAME | wc -l) - the way of the future where all space is virtual
