If 'etc.' is at the end of a sentence are there 2 periods?
no, there is only one. ================== I can't think of any example where ending a sentence with two periods would be necessary. Not even following the last word in a sentence that is being quoted within parentheses would I expect one to employ two periods. One, I humbly submit, is all that's ever needed. ------------------------- Placing more than one punctuation mark at the end of a sentence is superfluous. It is a rule of punctuation that there be only one form of "end punctuation" to a sentence. Whether the end punctuation be a period, question mark or exclamation point, only one is required. The rule applies also when the punctuation mark appears within parentheses or quotation marks; a second punctuation mark is both unnecessary and inappropriate.
Does the no punctuation rule on this site bother anyone?
If you are referring to the rule about no punctuation in the question (apart from the question mark), then it definitely bothers me. It is a big hindrance, especially when you are trying to clarify your question or add details, and can often lead to you being forced to use incorrect grammar or have your questions not make sense. I can't see why they need to have that rule. At the very least they could include a field for extra details if you're asking specific questions. If there is a good reason for the rule then I'd respect it, but I don't see one.
