I can't help it... The lack of understanding from people about how to use dot, dot, dot, is frustrating and annoying!

[wildhairrunning]

Why oh why are there so few people out there who use the 'points of elipsis' rule correctly? When you use dot, dot, dot, (...) it is THREE and only three dots, not however many you feel like putting

Like this... Then begin a new sentence with a space
Or...like this (for use in a sentence

Please people, use your dots correctly, it's driving me mad!

Aibu?!

I don't read posts with dots in reminds me of that dreadful poster DP

...?

I find people who start posts about dots quite annoying.............................

I can't stand it when people don't use brackets properly...

......take a chill pill love.....

Acronyms in lower case letters bug me...

YANBU, but it's ellipsis, actually

I can't reeling, it sets my teeth on edge! Lol...

I am always using dots incorrectly.......

It's one of those things as an adult I can do that is wrong but I won't get arrested for it................

And it has added benefits of driving people bonkers....
Cos they have to count them to see..
How many I have used...

...now you see lol drives lots of peeps bonkers...

Ha! @ pancakeflipper, nice one

Although incorrect use of punctation marks drive me crazy...

shouldn't this be in pedants' corner?

The OP seems to have a rage about using three dots, but seems to struggle with the one that should come at the end of every sentence.

above and beyond your quota pancakeflipper!

LOL ........ .

Bloody iPhone - it's actually ellipsis

iPhone keeps changing it!

And yet, there is something so compelling in the endless trail of dots isn't there..............

yes yabu, unless I have wandered into another reality
this should not be bothering you
i have never even heard of it
i have a degree in English
i am probably the one that's annoyed you
but i don't care
and yes, I know I am not using capital letters, but I don't care about that either

No pancake - it just shows that people can't grasp a basic grammatical rule...

at wither trying to rebel by not using capitals, but one snuck in there anyway....

If that's all you have to worry about, you're a very lucky person OP :)

If you are on an iphone, here's a tip for correct ellipsis usage - press and hold down the full stop button and voila, the option for an ellipsis will magically appear...

A full stop is a basic grammatical rule... You should look at your original post...

You have a degree in English and haven't heard of it?!

Oh dear...

Where did you study? Timbuktoo?!

Actually, there are FOUR of the sneaky buggers in there!!
