To be annoyed by '...'

[LittleMissRayofHope]

It's massively over used! It bugs me.

I just received an email and it was in the subject line - unnecessarily.

Then the ought out the email there were no full stops to finish a sentence. Each sentence and each paragraph was finished with '...'

It has pissed me off I may be slightly pissed off by the stupid fucking email of course I feel the '...' Is often used in a incredibly passive aggressive way. Just bugs me.

end rant

[SirChenjin]

I don't understand a word of that!

[LittleMissRayofHope]

Really... Does no one understand... This is my example... Is it getting clearer yet...

[fredfredgeorgejnr]

No, 'cos you're using it wrongly...

[MajesticWhine]

It doesn't particularly bother me... what was the email about?

[Purpleball]

Drives me up the fecking wall. I have a colleague who never finishes a sentence when talking and uses.........when typing to do the fecking same!

He gets one word replies from me

[SeaUnicorns]

Is it the use of inverted commas that annoys you?

[FarFromAnyRoad]

Is it the …………… annoying you? I like using ……….………

[fredfredgeorgejnr]

Or is it the use of three periods (...) instead of the ellipsis (…) which bothers?

[SirChenjin]

You mean ellipsis?

It just denotes a trail of thought, surely. . .

[SirChenjin]

an ellipsis

[Blistory]

I like it, but then again . . .

[SeaUnicorns]

Oh cross post, it's the ellipsis that annoys you.

I can see it would be annoying in formal emails, they are using it wrongly, but maybe they don't know they are?

[LittleMissRayofHope]

It's the incessant over use of ..............

I was putting the commas in.

I feel I have over reacted.
The email has set me off a little bit but in general it bugs me.
Used on FB on everyone's statues. In text messages, emails, even bloody written down.
It feels to me like there is an implication involved, or an expectation.

Just bothers me

[CMOTGilbertBlythe]

You're not alone, I hate it.
It seems to be the written equivalent of the ending of sentences in a high pitch. To indicate uncertainty.

[CMOTGilbertBlythe]

I love creepy wee brackets though.

[TheFirstOfHerName]

Not sure what you mean...

[SirChenjin]

The one that drives me insane is - Thoughts?

No, I won't jump to your demand for my thoughts, you tosser. We are equals, we have a conversation, we discuss, and the correct request is 'what do you think?'

[CMOTGilbertBlythe]

SirCh, what do you think of "Discuss"?

[SirChenjin]

that's something to get irate about

I think you'll find its thats'

[SirChenjin]

Can you hear that noise CMOT? That's the sound of my teeth grinding.
