Okay? just because I want to be an editor doesn't mean I know everything that has to do with some form of grammar. I'm a freshman in college but i guess you just Assumed that I would know.

Sweet mother of puck Its basic punctuation. It is not some advanced linguistic code. I was taught basic punctuation in grade school, so yeah, actually i did assume that a collage student with an interest in written language would recognize basic punctuation.
I mean holy crap, i am an art major with a rampant disregard for spelling and grammar and have a better grasp of the language than you... You have fun with that career choice... Fuck me i hate people...

Err... you really don't.

Also, there's a difference between not knowing what ellipses are or mean, and being confused when someone uses them in a deliberately obtuse context.

Arsehole.

Those who live in glass houses and whatnot.

She's 18 and just starting her academic career. Also as long as she's understood, she does have a good grasp of the language and grammar, just not the academically acceptable kind of grammar that really isn't totally necessary on a gothic site that has abandoned all pretense of being a literary site. WE CAN STOP PRETENDING.

Plus, I don't think it was that she didn't understand what ellipses are, I just don't think she knows about the ten character limit and how you need to highlight it to see passive aggressive notes written in black.

Okay, well I sure have been told... And hey Saya, i guess you just skipped over my "rampant disregard of punctuation and grammar" comment but cool i knew i would get crap for thst. Also i never claim to be an english major or even linguisticly competent... And yeah i indulge in passive aggressive jibes. Im a goth for fuck sake.

Jeezus. I was just surprised that a collage student going into a feild based on grammar and punctuation... Oh skrew it i really dont care. You guys obviously have something for this female.

Insert passive aggressive bullshit here...

She doesn't fail on grammar or punctuation and you're a fucking idiot if you think she doesn't know what ellipses are just because she asks WHY you used them.

Bottomline is, you're inane and boring and you don't know when to let your douchiness just go.

Oh gods...

Hey Mrs avila, look honestly dint pay any attention to me. I am a bitter twisted old bastard and by no fault of your own you rubbed me up the wrong way.

Dont let my waspy shinanegins interfere with you on this site. I was in a crappy mood and i picked on you and that was petty on my part. So really Mrs A. Sorry.

To the rest of you lot, bloody hell put your torches and pitchforks away ive had enough.

Seriously... I hate you guys...

No, of course i dont hate you. I was just feeling petulant.
