The "I Love Long Posts" Thread...

That was probably Latin to most, but it is Greek to me.

I love long posts. I consider it a form of mental weakness/literary inferiority if you can't get past 5 sentences in a row in one post.

What was the longest single post ever on Talkbass?

Feel free to respond with voluminous flowing prose in paragraph after paragraph...

You do realize that your OP is only four sentences, don't you?

An ellipsis is three periods... Anything else is just a bunch of dots.

Three periods is a hockey game... are a hockey game?

Yes. At first I didn't want to overburden the TB reading public.

The Ellipsis is made by Honda.

I thought a long post would more accurately be called a pole.

But it could also be called a spar. And a verbal spar could be a debate and there isn't much to go from debate to debase.

Much easier to go in the kitchen and get a cup of coffee and a donut.

That's right...dots are good... I like dots.

 

[fjadams]

Dot? Like this?

Anyway...this is The Long Post Thread...not The Punctuation Thread.....I don't care if anybody's grammar is off...as long as it's a good read.

Tired of these complaining pantywaists that have the attention span of a girlguide on amphetamines.

Frikkin' lightweights...

Was all that so you can tell me that I misspelled the plural of ellipsis? Cuz I didn't.........so there's that.

Yes...but the plural of ellipse is also the same. Since the question failed to clarify which word you meant, it could be construed that you were referring to geometrical ellipses.

You could definitely have an abundance of ellipses in literature.

Not to be confused with an elliptical exercise machine...there is definitely an abundance of those in the literature of weekend sale flyers.

Right where you said "Cuz I didn't.........so there's that"; here we see no ellipses but a trail of dots. Dots are abundant in literature...especially in my posts.

But you used "Cuz". As a seasoned veteran I'm sure you meant "because"...but many would not have known that.

"But you used "Cuz". As a seasoned veteran I'm sure you meant "because"...but many would not have known that."
Well, not necessarily, could have been referring to a person related by birth not of immediate family.

... three periods can also be three bullets dodged.

I do not care for periods, they make women crabby.
Just make sure that it is not missing.
