don't read this...

The following is far lower than dumpster material......

For the past year or so, i've been adding " 've " to alot of words, such as: "alot've" (which i've used the " 've " in place of "of"), and words like "sort've" ... Apostrophe-v-e means "have" ... definitely not "of" ...

For example, normally I would write: I smoke alot've cigarettes because I got addicted again on a bad day, like a dumbfuck.

It SHOULD be: I smoke alot OF cigarettes because I got addicted again on a bad day, like a dumbfuck.

NOT: I smoke alot HAVE cigarettes...blahfuckinblah....

If you'VE actually read this shit, sorry for wasting your precious time, and for taking up much-needed space on the forum, haha. I feel the need to post this as a correction for my zillions of past grammatical/spelling errors. I usually have a very critical eye about most peoples' spelling, but i've been spelling those words wrong, see the examples, and..... well, you get the picture....

Sincerely,
Little Miss Hypocrite

Hey, there's nothing wrong with getting a grammatical clue.

Kudos to you.

There, fixed that for you.

HAHAHA....... damn.... I know "alot" is supposed to be spelled as "a lot"..... I've always been too lazy to add a space though, unless i'm writing something "important"... Now that you mention it, I have to ask myself, how does adding a space take that much fucking effort??? While i'm at it, I could stop myself from adding "......" instead of "." after every sentence. Looks like a new way of writing is under way. It has to happen. I'm not eeeven gonna say anything else, lol.

if one's going to be a grammar nazi, one should probably keep in mind that there isn't such a thing as a "four-dot ellipsis."

or a "five-dot ellipsis."

or for that matter, a "seven-dot ellipsis."

three dots. that's all, folks.

luckily, i'm not a grammar nazi, i'm a perl whore - so my ellipsis can happily be limited to two dots without indulging in syntactic holocaust.

Heyyyyy... haha... i'm a "hypocritical spelling/grammar nazi"... It's alright if I spell something wrong or incorrectly punctuate, but if anyone else does it, i'm acknowledging every screw-up you bastards make... feel self-conscious! Jk, jk....

*Note* I still unintentionally added an ellipsis after every sentence, but this time, after reading your post, it wasn't the insane "........................." bullshit, as it usually is... I have no clue where I picked that bitch up at...

While there isn't a "four-dot ellipsis" there is an ellipsis followed by a period, which should be used if the ellipsis is ending the sentence. It looks remarkably like a "four-dot ellipsis" but isn't.

this is true; however, there is supposed to be a space between the period ending the sentence, and the following three periods that create the ellipsis. as such, it would look like this. ...

thus, this has caused a lot of headaches for english writers unfamiliar with HTML, where the default behavior is to ignore spaces unless marked with an " ", or non-breaking space.

This thread is starting to get confusing... Maybe I just need to go to sleep...

The space seems to be disputed, from what I can tell. Some sources indicate that there should be spaces separating all periods ( . . . . ) while some seem to think that the period should be spaced with the ellipsis not spaced ( ... . ). I found at least one source that indicates that an unspaced ellipsis with an unspaced period is appropriate ( .... ).

All sources seemed to indicate that there should be a space preceding the ellipsis.

And BBCode doesn't seem to support the non-breaking space, so my examples may end up being wrapped.
