I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.

What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.

Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod
Google translate, confirms your theory. Plus it sounds the same as when I tried learning it, for entertainment purposes, from Finnish Radio on Shortwave. This was waste of time; multiple meanings (up to 12) for the same word is crackers!
Morning TC,
Morning Bob,
Heavy ‘Fog’ today, and for the rest of the week.
Must be that globull cooling....
Bob, is it grammatically correct to put a (.) after a (...) thus forming a (....)? It just looks wrong.
The actual difference is said to be that with an ellipsis (...) one is making a deletion in what was said, a skip of not particularly relevant content.
Whereas with a (....) one is stating that it is a deletion to completion. There was nothing relevant to follow.
Neither may be specifically grammatical. They are visual representations of verbal components of speech. As such, they serve the purposes of punctuation, not grammar.
Thanks Bob,
Good to have that cleared up.
t should come as no surprise that I am one of those people who seem to be unable to ‘relax’ as it is an alien concept.
I’m always ready to do something, even while camping in the middle of nowhere.
I’ve had it commented on, “Man, you’re really tensed up!”
Somewhat hysterical, actually.
Maybe I really am a cat punished with being human... /bad joke
I think I’m here. I’ve got the S-L-O-W-S today.
I just put four BIG pork ribs in the crockpot and covered them them BBQ sauce, and will eat one or two later on today. Yummy! I don’t think I could make anything else to eat, what with the way I feel, and all.
Just in case anyone is curious: I’ve gone 243 miles on the gas in the tank, even though the gas gauge is below the “E.” I thought of trying to go 300, but I may just wait until 270 before I fill up. It will be interesting to see how many miles I get to the gallon.
Awwww my dear friend Stephi, who would have been 60 last week, had cats and ferrets.
Hi Nully,
That bit of usage i’m clear on, after reading a book, the problem is:
Can you follow it with a (.)Full-stop/Period.
Or is that just scruffy and bad Punctuation.
What Bob said made perfect sense, but is (Data)(...)(.)a legal move?
‘All text removed’ up to a ‘Full-stop’ just looks odd.
Just wanting to get it right and remove this niggling doubt from my head.
Seriesly? As in out-of-body experience? Has anyone ever warned you about going into a permanent dissociative state if you meditate too much? (Or am I confusing that with the weird drug stuff that went on in the '60's?)
My favorite wine comes with a screw-on cap. The UT is too classy for me *sniffle*....
Lol!
Two lol’s in a row! Good morning!
Your brain never ceases to amaze me. (Like the time T-c pointed out the potential damage that could be caused by a misplaced modifier, and you theorized how much damage a well-placed modifier could cause.)
You probably have the metabolism of a hummingbird at warp speed.
Off to do chores—SYL!
I agree - Bob’s brain is amazing.
NicknamedBob’s explanation and mine are not incompatible.
I’m not certain of the finer points of usage, but I customarily use it at the end of a post to indicate things unsaid and/or thoughts to be completed by the reader or simply trailing off...
