Go take a shower.
o jesus christ... damn it...my computer clock is 4 minutes ahead of the Spurstalk clock... .
Go take a shower.
I don't trust you...you take a shower.
I took a shower a couple of hours ago.
Do you work tomorrow?
No I don't work tomorrow... what kind of witch craft are you up to?
There should be no space between the last period and what.
Are you in school?
I'm in school, but not now. It's summer and I'm not a big enough school boy to pay for summer school.
and you ing broke the back and forth nature of this thing...meaning i win by default.
That was never a rule.
look it up...it's there somewheres
Nope...I don't see it.
Just admit that you are tired.
I RECKON I am tired, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sleep...besides, my dog just sneezed on my foot, that has to be good for like, at least another hour of awakedness.
I RECKON you won't last the hour.
Actually you are supposed to put a space before and after the 3 dots.
Ellipsis: For ellipsis use three dots, e.g. …
Leave a space before and after the three dots: E.g.: The object … is found.An ellipsis [ … ] proves to be a handy device when you're quoting material and you want to omit some words. The ellipsis consists of three evenly spaced dots (periods) with spaces between the ellipsis and surrounding letters or other marks. Let's take the sentence, "The ceremony honored twelve brilliant athletes from the Caribbean who were visiting the U.S." and leave out "from the Caribbean who were":
The ceremony honored twelve brilliant athletes … visiting the U.S.
I RECKON I've stayed up longer for stupider reasons...and that's a gaurantee.
So did we both get pwned there or just SB?
Both of you.
shhhh ... if she stays away for 1 more minute ... I win.
You used it incorrectly anyway. That's not even a place you should use an ellipsis. You aren't leaving out any words of the sentence.
But if you do use it correctly someday, leave a space before and after the 3 dots.
I use it more to denote pause more than leaving out words for paraphrasing purposes.
Did you not just read what Kori posted ... a space between and after the three dots. It's guarantee. You are definitely feeling sleepy now.
Well you can use it for pause. But you still need the spaces.
The ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in the flow of a sentence and is especially useful in quoted speech:
Juan thought and thought … and then thought some more.
"I'm wondering …" Juan said, bemused.
I'm with jman.
Silvergrey does have horrid grammar.
Alright, enough of this horse . Deuce.
