There's no punctuation at the end of your sentence. It's not even a complete sentence. Your OCD must be slacking.

Good catch, that stuff drives me crazy too.Well long story short there is a local store that posts a grow diary on the stores website. I follow along weekly as I'm sure others do too.
I've noticed that the "Previous" and "Next" buttons seem to be different and I would like other opinions before I reply again.
As you see the pages are titled as the week of grow...so I just used present "Week 7" and "Week 6" for a simple example
I removed parts to not link to them directly and these are screen shots spliced together basically.

My email to them was this....
Now I'm very aware that this 'issue' ( for lack of a better term) is just MY OCD kicking in, but figured I'd send a quick message to see if maybe there is a reason.
I follow along on your grow diaries and I must say they are fabulous and very enjoyable to read about products and the progress from other growers.
One small thing that I have noticed is the links at the bottom of each week for "Previous" and "Next"...they are backwards I believe. Visually or orientation.
Also where say in the current week at the bottom it says "Next" and when clicked it goes to the week prior, which should be the "Previous" week.
Sorry for being sooo OCD its just something I've noticed and have wondered about.
The reply came in 2 parts, but thats fine due to having to look into the question I asked...
1st:
Hey!
Thanks for letting me know! Must be a weird orientation thing with the site. I’ll look into it and try to fix!
Thanks for tuning in!
Thanks!
2nd:
Hey!
So the next/previous thing….
The next article is the most recently published article—not necessarily mutually exclusive to the week in the diary. So if you are on week 6 the next most recent article is technically “Week 5” because “Week 7” hasn’t happened yet.
Sorry its so confusing!
Thanks!
My current reply sitting in Draft folder...lol.
Thanks for replying.
A possible easy fix to not have it confusing is maybe rename "Next" and "Previous" to the week number.
So if you are on week 6 then it shows "Week 5" or even just "5"and not showing "Week 7" since it hasn't happened.
With the title being "Week #" it is kind of misleading is all because the "Next week would be week 7, if we still use week 6 as a start point, which wouldn't show due to it not happening yet. It would show "5" to tell use there is a previous week or previous information to be seen.
Previous means something that has happened or past. Where in your explanation doesn't exist as of yet.
Next means something following the current. This is used by you as a go to the next available page of information.
I am aware that in coding the terms get reversed at times. I just see it like you wouldn't say to someone "Hey see you previous week". You would say "Hey see you next week"...lol
Like I said its mainly just an OCD thing and I don't loose sleep or anything so don't worry. Its just a thing that sits in the back of my mind that I have to remember when I'm at your site. I need to recall the terms are not as the english language uses them, but as coding does.
So now I'm wondering if its even worth my time to continue explaining how english works compared to coding a website...what do you think?

Periods go inside the quotation marks, not outside.

Halftime, as the name suggests, is a period of time between halves of a game.
Football is a team sport (gridiron vs. soccer is discretionary).
Christmas is a major holiday toward year’s end.
The three often combine.
Do you have OTD? obnoxious trolling disorder? I notice that while you were wasting your time biting my ankles you did nothing, zip, to advance op’s issue(s). I recommended op smoke something. I dispense the same advice to you. I understand a blunt wrapped in rhus toxicodendron leaves is heady and delicious.

What's a Christmas football? Did you perhaps make an error? Did you mean to say football game? Football's don't have halftime's, perhaps you can add that to your silly post.
I've not heard of OTD, but if it's a real thing you most certaintly have a bad case. You should get that checked out. You've not added anything to this thread aside from condescension and grammar errors.

A Christmas football is how your colon reacted to those two thousand calories cooked by an indifferent relative. Do us proud and grunt for the extra point.
Football's and halftime's are not plurals. (protip: ) Never apostrophize a plural. This lapse on your part indicates that your indignation about my orthographic parsimony is a great big wet illiterate put-on.
My post is merely silly. Yours is flat-out embarrassing. Keep'em coming. This thread needed a quality idiot, and you rose to the challenge with alacrity. Kudos thus far; let's see if your bad enough is good enough to keep the ball (hint: you) in motion.

Take your time on your next post. This one is full of grammatical errors as well. I'd hate for your OCD to be triggered.

I inspected your post and found no grammatical errors. I would not hire you as a diagnostician.

If it was a complete quote that would be true, however it is just a sentence fragment, therefore the period goes at the end of the complete sentence.

ceterum censeo Politics no longer enough of a thrill for you? Are you looking to troll people who are not deluded idiot demagogues? Looking to up your game? You came to the right place. Here the beatings will continue until your morale improves, or I and the other apex predators tire of you, or both, or neither. We're pretty accommodating around here.

Your comprehension is lacking as well. Perhaps a tutor can help you get that sorted out. Although not me, if you want more lessons you'll have to solicit someone else.

after the bolded me, a semicolon is appropriate, as those are two main clauses, one express; the other implied. Furthermore it should be "Although not I"; you want to use the subjective not the objective case in that ... case.

No, I'm still into trolling deluded idiot demagogues. I haven't seen you post in awhile.
