Thankee sai

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.


Concerns?


Navigate:

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

It helps if you were actually correct:

I am correct.

I've got the Chicago Manual in front of me.

You've got a website that notes The Chicago Manual of Style describes the use of the ellipsis at great length, referring to the “three dot, four dot, and rigorous” methods (11.51 ff).

The website simplifies things, but by its own reference, there is indeed a four dot and a rigorous method (which also prefers the fourth dot, btw).

You could also see Diana Hacker's handbook of grammar and mechanics, A Writer's Reference, which includes a fourth dot as part of a sentence's terminal punctuation.

Yup, and who gives a fuck about spelling, grammar, mechanics, punctuation, communication, vocabulary, word meanings, or even being understood for that matter!
