Random thought:
Do we call 'stamps' 'stamps' because we stamp stamps? Or is stamping called stamping because of it's what we do with stamps?
There is undoubtebly a correct answer like for do we call oranges orange because they are orange or do we call orange orange because it's the color of an orange? But I think I'd prefer not to know.

I have occasionally wondered why some people are quick to say that somebody is "showing his or her true colors" when that somebody behaves negatively for whatever reason. On the other hand, the same people who do this to others may not apply such fault finding and criticism to themselves in similar situations and may excuse their conduct as being a "matter of circumstances". Hence, when observing others who are behaving negatively, why can't it be quick and natural to consider the possibility that that particular individual may be having an "off day"and/or is experiencing tough circumstances, and on the whole, he or she may indeed be a reasonable, rational, and decent person? Has it become so easy for people to find fault in others while excusing those same faults in themselves when they are in similar situations?

Why does the period at the end of a sentence look the same, even if it is in italics?
