The curious case of the double period
[edit]Well, let's go the unvarnished truth route:
- (I'm a 71-y.o. male obsessive-compulsive, tho not as smart nor as dramatically impaired -- nor as young -- as The Good Doctor-character (whose show i quite enjoy). My shtick of downcasing the pronoun I is part of that, but i wander; excuse me.) Like many things, language is full of things that work better than practical alternatives, but are sort of Generally Accepted Reasoning Practices rather than sticking to strict logicality.) "A period" can mean a relatively homogeneous chunk of time, rather the smallest mark you can almost always spot when it's tucked unobtrusively away where the bottoms of most letters fall, and as close to the last preceding letter as is consistent with avoiding most of the hazard of not being sure whether the writer has had a stroke, or wandered off to seek their distraction-of-choice. My conjecture is that "periods of time" (or, rather and more precisely, chunks of time during which sensitivity to distraction is, perhaps unconsciously, suppressed by what we call paying attention) are distinguished by the shifting of attention from one task, focus, setting, or (perhaps) intent(ion). (I'm mildly curious about what association between a sound and the experience of paying attention would result in that association, but resisting that particularly futile-seeming distraction.)
