  • A curious form of punctuation – neither a period nor an ellipsis, but comprising two dots thus..

    Conveys uncertainty, carelessness and confusion as well as irritating the life out of any editor within email range..

  • Also found all the hell over the OED. *urgh*

  • Really? In what context?

  • You're right, frindley--it truly did irritate me. ;-)

    . . . . . . . . <-- extra periods/ellipses parts, for anyone who may need them

  • Oh, c_b is correct--the online version of the OED is crawling with abridged ellipses. What is that??

  • I thought on seeing this that an ”abridged“ ellipsis would be one of these:
