One day a Texan teenage girl was on a flight traveling across the U.S.. During her layover the plane picked up some new passengers; among them was another teenage girl, but from Britain. After a very enriching and delightful conversation the Texan girl noticed that the British girl said "full stop" after her sentences every now and then. So out of curiosity she felt compelled to ask why she said that. "In my country, people say 'full stop' to emphasize a period at the end of their sentences." said the British girl. So the Texan girl inquisitively replied, "So do you say 'yield' to emphasize a comma?"
