Re: Prescriptivists
I was referring to correctness, not logicality... Besides, that was also aimed at Tails' comment about erroneous grammar:UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:You forget that I said "more logical."Things2do wrote:I only used it for the direct quote.

Re: Prescriptivists
The ellipses followed by a period (....) denotes the omission of a sentence between sentences, not just a trailing of speech or the omission of words.
