Yeah she's still alive. It's funny how people always remark about my grandma thread, as if it wasn't "cool" or something. I'm not saying that that's what you're thinking I'm just informing you of my pondering. She still has a lot of money in SA, and my uncle, the great sandwhich king of Canada who is responsible for her accounts, won't even reply to my emails.
Punctuation [ellipses and elides]: The ellipse is possibly the single most overused punctuation mark by amateur (and many professional!) writers. The ellipse is represented by three periods (or "pips") in a row ("..."). It is NEVER less than three or more than three. It is ALWAYS three. An ellipse is used to indicate an incomplete thought, and takes the place of a period. It should NEVER be used to represent a pause! If you wish to indicate a pause, a comma, semi-colon, or colon should be used instead. Generally, grammatically complete sentences should not end in an ellipse. Only sentence fragments (those sentences which do not possess a subject, verb, and object) should end in an ellipse. I("...") stand("...") corrected("...") Michael B.
What book are you quoting because I have an official book on grammar that dictates what I previously wrote. PS I know how annoying it can be to be corrected, but you'd rather deal with it now than continue make mistakes.
