Rant: Please Stop Using Ellipses!

[yanno_yamster]

I agree with johnconnor. It ain't called tolerance if you choose to put up with these habits and yet still be annoyed by them.

But next time please be more tactful when you wish to voice out about potentially offensive issues.

Well I suppose what "annoyed" means then - I'm no longer annoyed enough to properly register it and make a deal out of it, but I definitely still don't like it.

If my friends were really bad about using crappy language online, I'd probably call them out for it. As it is, I don't see them really overusing ellipses or misspelling to many words.

I suspect johnconnor encounters this a lot more - hence why he is so annoyed. And I can totally sympathise. It really CAN be pretty frustrating when you know people just have to be a little more conscientious when writing...

It saves on cognitive cost of your readers...... Cheers ~

Oh, such irony!

peeve is an idiom. superfluous is debatable... if you want to call me out on this then. uh. okay. sure. i'm sure you understand what i mean completely.
