schneiderguy: Seconded. He broke the formatting so goddamn hard.

Not broken here. :hmm:

[rudeguy]

I do that a lot. But I also talk like that too....I pause to consider my words.

I also use the dots when I am noting customer's accounts.

"Keith CI to CX HSI....saved with $29 12 mo promo"

What does this mean in a sentence......................

Good Afternoon Larry...............

I can meet you at your house..............at 10 am to talk if you can.

If you can let me know..............


The above is just a sample. I have a friend who does this in every email he sends. He is guy I play TF2 with and is a nice guy but I have no idea why he does this.

Here, this should make it MUCH easier to understand.

Good Afternoon Marklar...............

I can Marklar you at your Marklar ..............at 10 am to Marklar if you can.

If you can let me Marklar ..............



You're welcome!

 

[JulesMaximus]

they're dots :awe:

(and from a word processor standpoint an ellipsis is separate punctuation and that's good because you don't want a line break in the middle of an ellipsis.)

Can you tell me where the dot key is on my keyboard? I'm having trouble finding...it.

I hate to be stereotypical, but it really plays into this topic.

I notice a certain race/ethnicity seems to have the habit of putting spaces between the periods of their sentences. It really stands out, but I think this is teethering into the psychological world between how the brain works.

An example of that form of writing that I'm referring to is something like..

Shiro Ishii was a Japanese microbiologist . and the lieutenant general . Unit 731. A biological warfare unit of the Imperial Japanese Army . During the Second Sino-Japanese War . A position that led to him being accused of war crimes .

RACIST!!!!

On a related note...the hot Asian girl at work got engaged. She calls herself a ninja and her fiance kinda looks like a pirate.

It means that .999............................ really is equal to 1.

[The Stig]

can't believe this was a real... question

 

[sdifox]

I do that just because I can...

 

[pontifex]

when i worked a previous tech support job we were instructed to use ... between sentences when typing in the ticketing software.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

I like to make them 4 dots long instead....

you eyes expect 3, then you take a second look at "woah, there really are 4. that guy is mad!"

I'm crazy like that!...
.

Really, it's because I like the number 4 more than the number 3. I'm numberist.

Or else you just think, "woah, this guy's spastic!"

 

[God Mode]

Its hesitation. Most people add that when they want to sex the other person but can't say it.

 

[IronWing]

He's sending you an MadLib. You are supposed to fill in the blanks and send it back.

 

[Aquila76]

He's thinking. Your friend might be mildly retarded.

Agreed. One of my coworkers used to do this. She also usually 'replied to all' in e-mails. Definite signs of having the dumb.

It's why the ant ran across the top of the cracker box.

It reads "TEAR ACROSS DOTTED LINE".

You blew the joke. Just saying.

 

[SparkyJJO]

I use it because I tend to trail off on thoughts. Especially if I'm hunting for an answer or am unsure of something. The longer the dotted line, the more unsure I am

I guess it shows uncertainty. but then, that must mean I'm an uncertain person...

It's code for, "I don't know how to use proper punctuation."
