Perhaps you should read my recent post on Stoicism - you figure in it. Or is it that that’s pissing you off?

All of Frequent's posts are mesmerising and gorgeous but his stoicism post is Nobel standard.
Writing style, like high fashion is seasonal.
The three dots is his stylistic attempt to string words into comprehensible sentences, his string of pearls, to complement the mink stole.
dinagam, what have you been taking?
Since we are in "what pisses me off" mode, can I suggest that critics quit referring to "ellipse" and just say "dots"?
Furthermore, the singular is "Ellipsis" and the plural is "Ellipses".
The singular "Ellipsis" already means a series of dots (minimum 2 obviously, but usually 3) - so it's incorrect (in more ways than one) to employ "triple ellipses" to indicate 3 dots. "Elipsis" (singular) covers the symbol "..." perfectly
A "triple ellipsis" by definition would have a minimum of 6 dots (3 x 2), and more typically 9 dots (3x3)
"Triple ellipses" therefore would be a 3 triple ellipsis
Thank you, good morning and if you have any disagreement, keep it to yourself
:drink:
You are quite correct regarding the ellipses (et al) and I do apologize.
You are now right up there deserving of the Sawatdee Golden Dildo for 2019. And yes, the SGD has been wrenched right out of Frequency's ass in order for you to show it around. He is now left with eleven.
