After running pdflatex, bibtex, makeglossaries,pdflatex,pdflatex, you get the attached, MWE.pdf. Notice the double period at the end of the glossary description. I have skimmed the glossaries documentation where they have an example of redefining the list glossary style (http://mirrors.rit.edu/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/glossaries-user.pdf), but to be honest this might as well be written in Chinese (which I don't understand). It seems that it would be trivial to find that dot and delete it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
