Both are correct! People in the UK usually say "Full Stop," and people in the US say "Period". They mean the exact same thing! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

No space before it! The full stop goes right next to the last letter. Like this: "I like apples." Not like this: "I like apples ." 🍎

Great question! In US English, yes: Mr. and Mrs. In UK English, they usually skip the full stop: Mr and Mrs. It depends on who you are writing to! ✍️
