Really? Must be only on here... (this is why I have to be careful. I'm assistant editor of my school's newspaper. Bad grammar is like... the epiphany of h-e-l-l.)

Some people...use ellipses...way more than God intended...

but besides that...it's not really a big deal...kind of...maybe I'm just making it all up, though...I really need to finish filling out those forms...

It's also quite amusing when people say stuff about themselves and then prove themselves wrong, like, in the same post. Or right, too. :anxious:

I am guilty of using ellipses... most of the time.

And Danielle, I was not referring to you. I was talking about my character flaw.

It's a convenient tool online where speech is often informal... it indicates a pause in thought yet a continuation of the previous statement and not a new sentence. You might say that a comma is more effective, but that is not true... a comma is a quick pause where as an ellipsis is a longer pause. ;)

Also, commas cannot end sentences... but ellipses can....

I disallow myself from banning my alternate accounts. As I have said many times, the administration does not control the NPCs, so I need some fun of my own!

I've been considering that for years now! \:D/

But KODY makes a good point...I am very self-conflicted. :(
