The misplacing of the stops may make nonsense of a sentence. Take the sentence:
Cæsar entered, on his head his helmet, on his feet sandals, in his hand his trusty sword, in his eye an angry glare.
This may become: Cæsar entered on his head, his helmet on his feet, sandals in his hand, his trusty sword in his eye, an angry glare.
The barber’s sign also had two meanings according to its punctuation:
1. What do you think?
I shave you for nothing and give you a drink.
2. What! Do you think
I shave you for nothing and give you a drink?
The Full Stop.
A Full Stop is placed at the end of every sentence.
