What are you talking about... I think karmapolice might be offended by this... or maybe trustcompany... i'm not sure... you shouldnt really post prejudice posts like this... and it's not a big deal its like that other grammar post... so really you should pay attention for people's feelings cuz I bet somebody is about to cry ;)...

Why would you even start a thread like this.....

Why would you even start a thread like this.....

Because I felt like it...

[BigLebowski]

Isn't it just an excuse to avoid using proper punctuation? Discuss....

[flizmo007]

I use it alot at work in emails and in alot of my posts... I think I do it because I dont normally post complete sentences.... more like comments or thoughts...

[bmulligan]

ellipsis [ı'lıpsıs]
noun
(plural: -ses [-siːz])
1 Also called: eclipsis omission of parts of a word or sentence

2 (Printing) a sequence of three dots (...) indicating an omission in text
[ETYMOLOGY: 16th Century: from Latin, from Greek elleipsis omission, from elleipein to leave out, from leipein to leave]


Usually used when quoting text and editing it for clarity or synopsis. I tend to use it when trolling...

[rabbitt]

You know what would be even more annoying question mark If everyone wrote out the punctuation instead of just typing the symbol period Then I think there would be a reason to complain exclamatory mark It would be pretty hard to tell when a sentence ends comma especially if that person never capitalizes their letters period Like comma what if you said quotation What do you want to do today question mark comma end quotation and your friend is like quotation My name is not Mark exclamatory mark end quotation

Think how hard it would be to do a simple math equation without the symbols exclamatory mark Negative five plus J equals fourty four Or your could try the Quadratic formula colon Negative plus or minus the square root of B squared minus four times A times C comma all over two times A

So do you get my point question mark You should be thankful for that simple dot exclamatory mark There are so many other subjects that you could make a post about left parenthasis food comma video games comma what your day was like right parenthasis comma but you opt to complain exclamatory mark I hope this teaches you a lesson exclamatory mark exclamatory mark exclamatory mark

Its nice to know that it supposedly wasn't directed towards me....but thats really hard to believe considering that I'm one of the top posters on here and use "..." all of the time. So you've probably seen me use it more then anybody else on here.

How did my post make me look "egotistic?" I wasn't saying how great I am or how I'm better then everyone else in every way possible. The only compliment that I gave myself was the fact that I have better spelling and grammar skills than 99% of the ppl on here. Saying that wasn't a diss to anyone else...and I certainly wasn't bragging about it. I said that as a defense for myself. Meaning...I use "..." because thats my way of typing on a message board, not because I can't properly form a sentence.

well, your "rant" seemed very"HEY! LOOK AT ME! DOT DOT DOT", thus ego is involved. also, i too use ... way too freakin much, and so do many other posters. now if he was complaining about avatars with hot chicks showing the underside of thier boob, you'd be a bit more in the right :)

[The Successful Dropout]

then every post that everyone creates makes the creator egotistic....the whole point of a post is for it to be looked at...i would hate to think that ive posted 2,917 posts, only to have none of them looked at...in that case, screw it, im a big-headed bastard lol

but on the post in question....did anyone really think that i wasn't going to respond...lol...since when have i backed down from a chance to yell at someone or be an asshole? seriously? lol :wink:

[willardhaven]

I use it when I'm still thinking at the end of a sentence...

Generally on message boards, I don't have enough time for a complete thought, so I use those instead.

Ok, i understand that....but how am i assuming that everyone's talking about me when I said, "this almost seems like a direct bash on me"....i realize that other ppl use "...," but its probably pretty safe to say that ppl see me use it the most. In my post, I was mostly just defending why I use it. It can be everyone elses job to defend why they use it. I'm sure that most ppl thought of me when they saw this thread...maybe not first, maybe not last, but they most likely thought of me. Anyways, I'm not trying to argue with you.....the point is, I'm not egotistical.

Ya know what bothers me...?

People who use the word KEWL, U instead of YOU, 2 instead of too, and PeOpLe WhO aLtErNaTe BeTwEeN cApItAlS aNd SmAlL lEtTeRs !!!!!!!!!!!

that bothers me too 'cuz they go out of their way for all of that (except for u n 2)....ill use u n 2 on occasion...as well as "n," which i'm sure bothers u 2 lol

I LIKE DOUBLE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!

Best post ever..... up until you farked it up by putting the commas in after "food" and "video games".

I always wanted to know how much time people think they save by typing stuff such as "u" instead of "you" or "sry" instead of sorry, or any other short form of a word.

Another thing I hate is when people (usually white) want to be so hardcore Asian that on top of those really annoying smilies (^-^) they have to use Japanese words.

OMG!!! Dat iz so chibi, kawaii! ^-_-^ ttyl!!!1!!!!11!!1

[WildWop]

el·lip·sis
n. pl. el·lip·ses (-sz)

The omission of a word or phrase necessary for a complete syntactical construction but not necessary for understanding.

A mark or series of marks (... or * * *, for example) used in writing or printing to indicate an omission, especially of letters or words.

haha .. i mean lol this is a nice topic i guess cause it's going towards me really.. i use ... sometimes but i use those ^_^ more.. and you cant really be an "asian wannabe" unless you are asian.. but then i even dislike those ^_^ and other face since everyone uses them but apparently no one uses them on this site

so yea nice thought you have there

Now thats annoying!

[Gothic Walrus]

Does it bother anybody when people use those trendy geek abbreviations like LMAO, or LOL, etc.....?

"Trendy" my ass - using those abbreviations just makes you look like a bloody dumbass.

In any case, I have a tendency to use and abuse ellipses while I write. In real life, I've got an almost complete inability to finish a sentence. Since I do it so frequently while I'm talking, why not do it while I'm writing as well?

Besides...punctuation is FUN! :wink:

[sying]

What a sham.


Sying post count level up +1

[captainfrizo]

Abbreviations annoy me more than than ". . ."

Whenever I see LOL, BRB, or TTYL I can't help but think of the other person as an individual too damn lazy to actually type out the words or can't spell worth a damn.

I don't care if it takes up less time, I think looking somewhat educated is more important than saving about two seconds. Every once in a while I'll use LOL and I cringe when I realize I did.

And while everyone else is at it, my post count just went up one.

Besides your weekly ad posts, I have no idea who you are. Perhaps "paranoid" would've been a more approriate word. Believe me, if this was specifically towards you, your name would've been mentioned.
