Why can't we use coma full stop oblique semicolon for naming and saving files in system?

2 Reasons:
One: To simplify the operating system's job of reading names
Two: Things like ,.; and !$#& have meanings in programming languages so the computer might read it as a command. For example $ means 'text' and && means 'and'. ; means 'end of line of code' and . is used to identify the file extension. You actually can use . in file names but it is a complex process of renaming the file extension. For example if you have a file called "hi.txt" and you want to call it "hi.hi.txt". In this example .txt is its extension and that tells the os what sort of file it is. A txt is a text document and if you renamed it "hi.hi" the os will look for a program to open a file with the extension ".hi" in order for it to be changed you will have to set the options to show file extensions so that it looks like this "hi.txt" then you can now edit it to "hi.hi.txt"
It wont work on Mac OsX
