DOT

<p>If someone asked you to name the most important character on your keyboard what would you say. Maybe a, v or c or perhaps x(if you are someone named pamela anderson). But I would be surprised even if one of you comes up with Dot. Yes you heard right, Dot as in dot com also known as period or point.</p>
<p>It is perhaps the most versatile character of them all. It is indispensable in mathematics, computers and of course language. You can not argue the judgement of Samuel Morse. Be it decimal system or URLs, coordinate geometry or Morse code DOT is there to stay.</p>
<p>Imagine reading h2g2DOTcom as h2g2COMMAcom or h2g2COLONcom. Imagine value of pie as threeCOMMAonefour. Imagine reading this entry without the periods. Doesn't make much sense?Dot has also lent a helping hand to other characters such as ? or : or ; and many more</p>
<p>Therefore world without DOT is pointless(pun intended) world.</p>
