Neither one of these is really perfect, as it leaves the period placement wonky. You could fix it, but this seems like kind of a silly exercise to put that much effort into.

Code:
(05:13:08\[root@DeCoBoxOmega)
[~]$ cat sentence
This seems like a dumb excercise.

(05:14:30\[root@DeCoBoxOmega)
[~]$ sent=($(cat sentence));count="${#x[@]}";until [[ ${count} -eq 0 ]];do printf "%s " ${sent[$count]/.//};let count=count-1;done;printf "." #In pure bash, leaves spacing issues
 excercise/ dumb a like seems .
(05:14:59\[root@DeCoBoxOmega)
[~]$ tr " " "\n" < sentence |tac| tr "\n" " " #Using tr, puts period in wrong place
excercise. dumb a like seems This
(05:15:22\[root@DeCoBoxOmega)
[~]$
