Random information on the term “Period”:
An era is a span of time defined for the purposes of chronology or historiography, as in the regnal eras in the history of a given monarchy, a calendar era used for a given calendar, or the geological eras defined for the history of Earth.
Comparable terms are epoch, age, period, saeculum, aeon (Greek aion) and Sanskrit yuga.
The word has been in use in English since 1615, and is derived from Late Latin aera “an era or epoch from which time is reckoned,” probably identical to Latin æra “counters used for calculation,” plural of æs “brass, money”.
The Latin word use in chronology seems to have begun in 5th century Visigothic Spain, where it appears in the History of Isidore of Seville, and in later texts. The Spanish era is calculated from 38 BC, Before Christ, perhaps because of a tax (cfr. indiction) levied in that year, or due to a miscalculation of the Battle of Actium, which occurred in 31 BC.
Like epoch, “era” in English originally meant “the starting point of an age”; the meaning “system of chronological notation” is c. 1646; that of “historical period” is 1741.
Random information on the term “DOT”:
The full stop (Commonwealth English), period (North American English), or full point ., is a punctuation mark. It is used for several purposes, most often to mark the end of a declarative sentence (as distinguished from a question or exclamation). This sentence-ending use, alone, defines the strictest sense of full stop. Although full stop technically applies only when the mark is used to end a sentence, the distinction – drawn since at least 1897 – is not maintained by all modern style guides and dictionaries.
The mark is also used, singly, to indicate omitted characters or, in a series, as an ellipsis (…), to indicate omitted words. It may be placed after an initial letter used to stand for a name or after each individual letter in an initialism or acronym (e.g., “U.S.A.”). However, the use of full stops after letters in an initialism or acronym is declining, and many of these without punctuation have become accepted norms (e.g., “UK” and “NATO”). This trend has progressed somewhat more slowly in the United States than in other English language dialects.
