I am with all on this one. Anymore than 3 "..." is greedy. Slightly on topic - You're v Your when shortening from "you are" drives me up the proverbial wall. Anyway it's all just style. Don't be constrained by the, constraints of grammar! |
Re: Quadruple punctuation
Three errors reported!
Avoid "drive you up a wall" Clichés are phrases used so much they lose their original power. Try revising the meaning of this phrase using your own words. It will make a stronger impact on your reader. ---- Try a simpler word for quite Where possible you should use a simple word over a complex word. Simple words are easier to read and let your readers focus on your ideas. Replace quite with (omit) ---- Repeated word: etc etc etc Replace etc etc etc with etc ----- Is this annoying?

Re: Quadruple punctuation
I did check all the boxes in the options menu.
This add-on is empowering and saves my precious time (I didn't have to Google "simplier words", it told me you were just trying to say "simpler words"). God it is annoying though, isn't it? And no, it didn't catch "You're programme"

Also in grammatical terms does "Is that an oxymoron?" mean the same thing as "Is that not an oxymoron?". Please explain... :confused: |
