Yeah, sposebly, the youngins are intimidated when you end a sentence with a period.
(A 'full stop' is British for that dot at the end of a sentence. Sorta like when they say 'half-litre' they really mean a 16 ounce pint with a little room for the head.)
I'm gonna throw a flag on the play. This article doesn't really mean what it appears to mean. That folks should be sensitive of Gen Z and stop using periods.
No, this article was written by a gramma nazi, appalled at the awful grammar in social media. They are hoping folks will get defensive and contrary and insist on always using a period. It could backfire on them... And folks will start over-using the simplest punktuation mark... And. that. would. be. awful..........
