And then of course there is the discussion about style rules for ellipses.
I've never heard or seen the the rule three periods within a sentence and four at the end of a sentence.
The publisher I work for and I have agreed that ellipses are three periods, and follow the preceding word with a space before the next word. How does that grab you?
I've seen them used with no spaces, like...this, and with a space on either side like ... this. But I think our way, like... this, looks better.
And then the next question is how to prevent and ellipsis at the end of a sentence and end of a line being orphaned on to the next line. I think that looks ugly.
