#You don't put a space after an ellipsis. So it should be
"My...boyfriend"
I'm sorry, but that is wrong.
I find the ellipse to be the single most common mistake.
An ellipse is defined as three dots with a space on either side.
Thus " . . . " is the proper way to write an ellipse.
"My . . . boyfriend" is the correct way to write this.
You are correct in the space before and after. My bad. Sorry Chris.
Sorry FFML.
I don't believe you put spaces between the periods, though. (Of
course, this is a nit-picky, pointless-to-argue-over kinda thing.)
Anyways, thanks for the correction!
Ja Ne!
