People who put .... at the end of every sentence.

Thats not fucking punctuation it's just being a retard.

Does it imply some hidden meaning ? No so stop fucking doing it grrrrr.

...

 

[old.Tohtori]

I'm just saying what the hidden meaning there could be

 

[Punishment]

As oppossed to him typing an adult reply, so many people i know do it.

It doesn't imply fuck all apart from the fact they can't punctuate

 

[DaGaffer]

Just because people use it incorrectly doesn't mean its wrong. An ellipsis used properly is perfectly correct punctuation.

 

[Punishment]

That statement makes absolutely no sense.

He could have meant it for dramatic effect. Quicker than typing dun dun duuuuh

I'll break it down for you; this: "..." is called an ellipsis. Its used for dramatic effect to build tension or to deliberately leave a a question hanging for the recipient to "fill in the blanks". Used properly its perfectly grammatically correct. Some people don't use it properly, but that doesn't mean the ellipsis is automatically bad grammar, as you seem to imply. Comprende?

 

[Punishment]

I know what an ellipsis is, but used improperly it may aswell be a bucket of fish.

Tbh it's hard to use an ellipsis incorrectly, as it's literacy terminology and mainly used in poetry or drama etc where it's all artistic license. On the net people mainly use it to create a pause between sentances where I supose a Caesura would be the correct way to do that but as there is no symbol for a casesura using ellipsis to create one is technically correct


Do I win the interwebz???????

 

[Punishment]

[gohan]

Yes... I do!

no. caesuras havent been relevant in literature for 2000 years. and they're not replaced by ellipses in modern translations either.

Letting the recycle bin build up for a few weeks and then accidentally clicking "restore all items" instead of "empty recycle bin". :'(

You're wrong, a caesura is just a 'cut' so any punctuation that forces the reader (hence why it's mainly drama and poetry) to pause is a caesura, it's a tenique rather than a type of punctuation, so if you're using an ellipsis to create a caesura then that is correct punctuation (an ellipsis can be used EITHER to replace a purposely ommited word OR to leave a sentance unfinished i.e when hinting at something and not out right saying it)

Only reason I know this is because I've just finished A level equivlent English Litt top of the class (standard)

Ah, how you've changed. I remember you getting all upset because I called you an illiterate buffoon once. Now you're all caesura this and ellipsis that. Still spelt equivalent wrong though

 

[gohan]

ahahaha fuk u :<

 

[TdC]

I thought an ellipsis was a squashed circle
