The triple stop - New English punctuality term

I just thought of a new English punctuality term “The triple stop”. For those of you who don’t know what it is read on.

The full stop designates an end of a sentence, a completion to a saying, a piece of information if you will. The triple stop on the other hand is designed to accentuate the importance of what we said in the previous sentence, it tells the reader that one should stop reading for three times longer than they normally would from a sentence, before starting on the next… There you have it a new English term, invented right here in New Zealand by a yet to be famous writer and photographer…
