    May not be common, but I’ve heard it in american slang. I think its more an old carry over from telegrams that never quite left our shared language.

      Did telegrams use full-stop? They pretty much only used STOP, no?

      It seems more likely that your man picked it up from a British influence, like a friend or something.
