I know I'm BLOODY sick of the ...
It pisses me off! Glad to know I'm not alone.

I have a horrible habit of using the ellipsis superfluously.

 

[BG4533]

[Syringer]

You really set yourself up for this one.

STFU...

 

All right . . . I know I'm guilty of the ellipses. I do it because that's my train of thought. I mean . . . just that. . . . Can I now complain about your thread titles criticising people's application of the English grammar when you can't even spell proper sometimes? LMAO!

 

[MangoTBG]

Actually, I have a really REALLY bad habbit of using the elipse...

Lol, like I didn't mean to do that one to be funny. Anytime that I chat using AIM or mIRC I'll say something and then if I want to follow up I'll say "...Blah blah blah". Anytime I follow up with something I start with the elipse. It's annoying, but there must be some reason why I like it! I try to add hyphens in there, to take away from the elipses though!

 

[Broohaha]

i like it myeslf [BOLD] DOT DOT DOT [/BOLD]

 

[iamme]

i am guilt of using them. i don't really mind people using them, unless they overdo it.

 

[dighn]

i use it a lot... just a period is too abrupt of an interruption sometimes to represent my true thoughts so i use ...


and sometimes i put only ... in a reply to mean "no comment" as in this is a really stupid thread and ... is all i have to say

Proper use is as follows.

... if used in the middle of a sentence.

.... if used at the end.

optoman :frown:

umm .. it doesn't really bother me. I use two dots instead as demonstrated in the previous sentence.

[bjc112]

It seems that's all i ever use...

Check some of my other threads.. It's a habit.

 

[clicknext]

I don't see what's wrong with it... why do people hate it so much...? It's just 3 little dots.. or two in some cases.. it's just easier to type this way.
