the Hearth @Felthry@awoo.space

when you end a sentence with both a period and an ellipsis,
-F

66% the first three dots are the ellipsis and the last one is the period
8% the first dot is the period and then the last three are the ellipsis
25% the period goes in the middle somehow???

our answer

we always thought the period was first and then the ellipsis for some reason?

it doesn't really matter though of course
-F

re: our answer

@Felthry we almost never can actually type an ellipsis, so we just type four periods

re: our answer

@packbat we do too, but one of those periods is the period and three of them are constituents of the ellipsis

re: our answer

@Felthry right, yeah - we think of the last dot as being the period but yeah, three of the dots are an ellipsis and one is a period
