gollark: I guess `x.split(/\.\s/)` might work?
gollark: `x.split(". ")`, the marginally less obvious way, will both get confused in cases of bad grammar and linebreaks after periods.
gollark: `x.split(".")`, the obvious way, doesn't work if I decide to write, say, "potatOS.something does bees".
gollark: That might interact oddly with formatting (e.g. markdown) and also that's actually quite hard.
