Moreover, in the tech world, these punctuation characters often have actual technical meanings and being precise can be very important. For example, consider the following punctuations of a quote:
- "Resolve the DNS record for example.com.".
- "Resolve the DNS record for example.com".
- "Resolve the DNS record for example.com."
Only the first and second quotes are unambiguous. The third, which is supposedly correct, is unable to differentiate between a meaningful trailing period, which in DNS means to not use search domains, and the period inserted to end the sentence. While these issues are rare, logical punctuation solves this problem.
