I didn’t know that. Somebody needs to get this info to MicroSoft, because Outlook flags three dots as a grammatical error. I see she refers to a “four-dot rule” as well. OTOH, it may be flagging it because it’s End of Paragraph.

I use the “Rule 2” she mentions frequently, but that’s because I bend, break, fold, spindle and mutilate the paragraph rules on a fairly regular basis. Like right now....

:^)
