Rich, thank god for you! Nobody else seems to understand that. For the record, Americans do not say "colon", we pronounce it correctly, but for some reason the dipshit insists on being called Colon, so we have to oblige him. If he wants to be named after the organ in the human body in which water is absorbed from solid waste, that's his own thing.
Yes, period means the same thing in America as well. It just means "full stop" in addition. I suppose that's quite odd. I try not to think about it. Normally I don't hide my idiosynchrasies, but I think after a certain point you just have to go with the flow, no matter how stupid and absurd that flow is, lest too much be lost in translation. Honestly, I don't trust my fellow Americans to understand me if I start ending my sentences with "full stops".
Tee hee hee, pants! Bwa ha ha ha! I presume you call them trousers?
Heh heh. I always suspected something to be wrong with my sixth and seventh grade band teacher. It should have been a dead giveaway when he told us to wear black pants to every concert. Pervert!
