   One thing I refuse to write is a period at the end of a sentence

   Don't ask me why, perhaps an OCD of the many I suffer, but I don't see the point of that if a new paragraph is two lines below

   And they look ugly in web pages for titles, feature blocks, testimonials, etc

   AI likes to use them everywhere when building web apps. I hate that and have to go find/replace every dot next to a closing tag

   I'll have to refine my skills.md "Don't end paragraphs with a period"

      That sounds like an excellent idea if you primarily don't communicate with humans.

      go ask your LLM to make a browser plugin to remove all periods, then stop complaining here

      I think the real question is why you are starting a new paragraph after every sentence It makes your posts read as stilted and a bit difficult to follow Do you still use question marks if you ask a question or an exclamation point Curious to what you do when you write on paper but let me know
