In Germany you say “Punkt” (the little dot at the end of a sentence) to clarify your position. That is translated to “full stop”, so most kids in Germany say “full stop” until someone explains to them that it is “period” in proper English… :-D

As Hesse seems to have German roots (regarding his name), that might be the reason. ;-)

Yup, I agree. Stupid Sprint needs to raise their rates so they can afford Verizon’s rule the Air campaign. Dan needs to say this anyways to reassure all those EVO / EPIC customers to feel good about buying into the 4G WIMAX technology. If Sprint starts talking about LTE phones now it will piss off all those customers in the 2 yrs contract if LTE is ready by next summer for example. Don’t forget there is a mass majority of people who don’t read tech blogs and would only be confused if Sprint tries to add LTE into the mix. Hesitant customers who wait and wait for the next thing aren’t paying customers.

Another example, Sprint marketting group is one of the POOREST, DUMBEST, most FOOLISH.

They need to refresh the marketting group with the likes of VZ, ATT marketting ideas.

Sprint Stupid advertisement:
Old man Dan (no no)
Old man Dan with his hands in his pocket the whole time (no no)

It’s been used in writing by Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, and William Shakespeare, among others.

I live far from any English-speaking country, but the expression “full stop” was never really that exotic, personally… sigh
