Description

Tiny change, added the word "period" for clarity of what a "full stop" character is to avoid confusion for NA English readers.

Motivation

I have only rarely seen a period referred to as a full stop, despite it being the technically correct name for the character. I believe this adds a touch of clarity for readers who may be unfamiliar with the term.

This is just a little confusing to NA English readers.

We don't need "full stop" at all. This was probably written by a British person :).
