Three dots people. THREE. Not two. Not four. And definitely not some long ass arbitrary string. Three effing dots.

:aargh::aargh::aargh:

As in, I wonder how many dots an ellipsis consists of...

Thanks folks... that's all for now... in another installment, we'll discuss gross abuse of the ellipsis... but here's a hint to whet your whistle... if you have more ellipses in your post than ordinary periods... you're doing something wrong...

:rofl:

i guess this was meant somewhat for me, ah well, to old to change now:) if this is the only thing that bothers you...............lol
 
wow..... this is a message board chief..... a place where one doesn't and shouldn't have to worry his/her grammar is going to get graded.....
 
Honest to god.............................................................................................................................................................................. I think you mistook this board for English Comp II. Proper ettiquette is for whusses. ;)
 
Just so you know, you guys who were trying to give me an aneurism with your abysmal ellipses constructs have succeeded. I hope you're happy. :frustrate
 
Every time I see a sentence with quite a few ellipsises (or ellipsisi? Invalid Link Removed) I always imagine Bill Shatner reading that sentence. Maybe it's just me and I'm quirky like that. :D
 
The plural is "ellipses." And when are you ever going to type a three dot ellipsis? If you end a sentence with it and want to punctuate it with a terminal period as well? I can see that as technically correct, but in poor taste.
