Transcript Captions option: remove end full stop/periods

When subtitling long conversations, I have a style preference of removing full stops/periods at the ends of sentences, especially if the subtitle is just a single sentence. It makes the subtitles cleaner and the conversation seem less stilted. 
I'd love to see an option in the Create Captions dialogue box to automatically remove these trailing punctuation marks at the end of subtitles.

@MakingAToZ,

 

Still pondering this one; not my style, so....

 

If you have 2 short sentences, and the first therefore must end in a period (true?), do you use the ending period?

 

I'm looking at the ease of a search/replace workaround.
