----- Original Message ----- From: amyjoycefields@xxxxxxx Subject: period after the salutation signature - yes or no? A colleague and I had a debate the other day as to whether or not it is acceptable to put a period at the VERY end of a letter (AFTER the name which comes AFTER the salutation). I had never seen this in the US, but many of my Israelis students do this. What is your point of view? EXAMPLE: Sincerely yours, John Smith. (Should this period be here or not?) ----------------------------------------------- ** The ETNI Rag ** http://www.etni.org/etnirag/ Much more than just a journal ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
