Usage of Ellipsis annoying u?

**afriend** · 08-11-2006

I just can't help but thinking that I use ellipsis too much[...].

Does this annoy you? Should I stop using them?

I wanted to be safe rather than sorry....Not that anybody's said anything about it *being held at gun point*

joking

Also, if I do anything that annoys you, can you please list them? Be 100% honest ok? I am willing to change to any good suggestions.

Oh come on....WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS TO GET ATTENTION!!??

Ps. I'm no attention seeker

what's wrong with ellipsis? i like 'em too....
(parentheses are nice too)
i say if people get annoyed by something as petty as this, it serves them right.

I don't find anything wrong with it. As a matter of fact, it helps some people to better comprehend what you are saying.

Therefore, you shouldn't stop using them.

Then what are you?..lol

Asalaamu alaykum.

Ellipsis are great.. they allow typing to reflect spontanious speech moreso then commas and full stops since sentences written on things such as MSN and forums are rarely grammatically correct and follow colloquial grammar more so.

Although, they are a bit overused at times. Perhaps a new trend can emerge...meh, its too late to be fashion setter.

Perhaps it would have been better just to consult those close to you on MSN about this. Don't start threads for every little matter. If you think they are annoying, don't use them. If you don't think they're annoying, use them. Problem solved.
