Following a recent thread in this group, I've now updated my online
Ada textbook "Ada 95: the Craft of Object-Oriented Programming".
The reason is given in the change log at the bottom of the contents
page (http://www.it.bton.ac.uk/staff/je/adacraft/):
Revision 1.3 2002/02/21 13:00:00 JE
Minor corrections to chapters 2, 3, 13, 17 and 18, and to the examples
for chapters 3, 13, 18 and 19: the British usage of "full stop"
instead
of "period" has confused some American readers, so "semicolon" has
been
substituted throughout to keep things language-independent.
Two countries separted by a common language... :-)

Is "separted" British English?
