There are an increasing amount of people using ...'s instead of spaces or full stops, maybe i'm being picky or whatever, it's kind of annoying though reading through paragraph's made up half of dots.
Any chance this can be banned or at least 'frowned upon' like text language has been? Cheers #thumb#

nice catch Suffix....though....i personally....like to use them....and just for the heck of it....i am replying to you....using these....i must say...it is...fun....lol!! ;D Just kidding bro! I know what you mean though. But I think using the "..." takes the formality out of the posts and makes it more informal and friendlier. But that is my opinion. Apologies if my earlier crap bothered ya!

You and marrymeheize must be remedial grammar teachers! I use the dots but it's usually two or three just to symbolize my train of thought. I have less against the dots because at least you can understand what someone is saying as opposed to text talk which I usually have to decipher.

The use of dots within reason is fine I think, especially when trying to express the gap between thoughts in a more informal fashion. However I don't like it when I see "Please respond...........................................I need an answer." That's a bit much.

It'll probably annoy me more now you've drawn my attention to it , using it for pauses is fine but I don't really see the point if not but I'm not bothered either way as long as I can tell what you're saying.
