Hello…my name is Hope…and I am an ellipsis junkie.
The first step is admitting the problem, yes? Now to find a support group for my particular sickness. You see, I just can’t seem to help myself. I know grammar rules, I know which funky-looking bits of punctuation belong where, and yet I am finding myself in constant violation of ellipsis abuse. If I were to read some of my emails and forum postings out loud, it would sound like a horrible tenth-grade drama student auditioning for a Shakespearean play.
You know…
Awkward pauses…
Dramatic sighs…
Elongated words…
Sentences that trail off at the end for no apparent reason…
Oh lord, I need help!
Hello from Russia!
Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?
But of course
This is my first visit here, but I will be back soon, because I really like the way you are writing, it is so simple and honest
