and asked his students to punctuate it correctly..
All of the males in the class wrote :

FULL STOP
1. One of the commonest mistakes of students is using full stop before conjunctions such as but, yet, and, so, while, because:
X The child started crying. Because he lost his toy.
Instead it should read:
√ The child started crying because he lost his toy. |
