-"This signals the demise of western civilization."

-"Look, it was just one misplaced apostrophe."

-"My point exactly."

This is an actual instruction on a website that provides critical alerts and medical pagers. People's lives depend on these instructions being accurate and easy-to-follow:

If you are a (name of company) user you may still page by 7 digit pager number simply leave the area code blank you may also still page by name simply type name in pager field.

A sentence ends with a period and the next sentence starts with a capital letter. If you work for any company, anywhere, that provides any sort of services of any kind, be sure your documents are written coherently.
