How can you use the word periods in a sentence?

Many disciplines use epochs, eras, and periods to label historical times. I failed my typing test because I put two periods after a sentence. The girl stated her periods were always regular, every 28-days. Three periods typed one after another in writing is called an ellipsis, but two periods is a mistake in punctuation. Emily Bronte, the famous writer, used many periods in her text, an effective use of ellipsis.


When do you use two periods after a sentence?

Never. When ending a sentence with an abbreviation, a single period will suffice. It does double duty in finishing the abbreviation and the sentence. You may, however, see three periods at the end of a sentence. This is an ellipses. Or, two periods may occur in a sentence that includes a quote. Example: When I heard him say, "I found your luggage.", I cried tears of joy.
