I think we all make mistakes when we compose emails or responses to threads. I know that I sometimes type so fast that I don't always catch the dyslexic-looking spelling errors that often plague English writing on the Internet (like hte for "the"). But I think the problem occurs mostly with people who want others to perceive them as intelligent, when they are struggling to convince themselves of the same ideal. I've been on other message boards where someone who finds himself or herself to be the greatest English scholar of all time will immediately go through and police everyone's writing, no matter how well it is scribed. I took a creative writing class some years ago at a city college, and the professor teaching it was a total ass who went through and laughed at the grammar of people who wrote stories in his class, reading it out loud and then laughing. He read one of mine once, and just read through the complex sentences as if they were wrong, when they were just a bit over his head, so he looked confused while reading it, and when I asked, "so what exactly is wrong with that sentence?", he just ignored my question and went onto the next one to ridicule. Dropped his class cause he wasn't teaching us anything other than to feel bad about ourselves, and I could get that from anywhere.

I have a question, why do subs contact a Domme and state how educated they are, been ("being that") within their emails there are a zillion typos???

(Which, by the way...is not even remotely grammatically correct....however, it was the closest thing I could come up with, based on your less than appropriate sentence structure).

Umm, thanks English Professor?!- will you edit My next paper? It's always intriguing to Me when people are rude... nothing in My posts appeared rude. I asked a question about SPELLING, whether you approved of My sentence structure or not, you got the point of what I was trying to say. That is what this thread was suppose to be about, simply being able to understand what someone is trying to convey. you undertood Me, didn't you?!

Except at the end of a sentence, when it is four dots (the full stop plus the ellipsis).

Shouldn't that have been 'up with which I could come'?

I feel that a space between those dots makes them look better. But then I have extremely high standards regarding such matters that aren't attainable by most mortals . . . .

Honestly, PforH, do I have to teach you everything?

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

There are two commonly used methods of using ellipses: one uses three dots for any omission, while the second makes a distinction between omissions within a sentence (using three dots: . . .) and omissions between sentences (using a full stop and a space followed by three dots: . ...).

I am now running off to find a large enough pin to puncture that big head of yours (you may take that any way you like).

Can you be suggesting that I should do what is 'common', V?

"Common" can also mean "accepted." I suggest you be acceptable. Even you ought to be able to achieve that - I've lowered my standards considerably.

Why am I reminded of Taming of the Shrew? You, of course, are the shrew. In fact, the more I think of it, a production with the roles reversed would be quite entertaining. I think we ought to audition for the leads. I come to husband it wealthily in Padua . . .

Hmm. I read further down the page of your quoted Wikipedia article. It seems that I'm old fashioned in preferring to put spaces around those dots:

The Modern Language Association (MLA) however, used to indicate that an ellipsis must include spaces before and after each dot in all uses.

According to Robert Bringhurst's Elements of Typographic Style, the details of typesetting ellipses depend on the character and size of the font being set and the typographer's preference. Bringhurst writes that a full space between each dot is "another Victorian eccentricity. In most contexts, the Chicago ellipsis is much too wide" — he recommends using flush dots, or thin-spaced dots (up to one-fifth of an em), or the prefabricated ellipsis character (Unicode U+2026, Latin entity …). Bringhurst suggests that normally an ellipsis should be spaced fore-and-aft to separate it from the text, but when it combines with other

I must admit, I couldn't be bothered to look up 'thin-spaced dots (up to one-fifth of an em), or the prefabricated ellipsis character (Unicode U+2026, Latin entity …)'. Something to do with my anorak being the wash, I expect.

Oh well. I expect I shall end up in hell for this . . . .

ghoti-face!

Why, Venatrio is coming in a new mask and an old
corset, a pair of old stockings thrice turned, a pair
of boots that have been candle-cases, one buckled,
another laced, old rusty handcuffs ta'en out of the
town-armory, with a broken key, and chainless. ...

beeblista.

P.S.: Careful, Peon -- she might want you to be her Tranny-o.
