Period. Full Stop. Point. Whatever It’s Called, It’s Going Out of Style

The period — the full-stop signal we all learn as children, whose use stretches back at least to the Middle Ages — is gradually being felled in the barrage of instant messaging that has become synonymous with the digital age

Huffington Post also weighed in:
The Period Is Dead. Long Live The Period.
The absence of periods in texts means the punctuation mark is dying. Or maybe not.
