For some bizarre reason...

...I decided to poke around the Help section of Blogger. I, who prides herself on her grammar and punctuation skills, am apparently a repeat offender in the category of criminal overuse of the ellipsis:


I can also spot an overuse of the ellipsis at 50 paces. There are two reasons to use an ellipsis (and neither one is because you don't want to write a transition): Use an ellipsis to indicate words omitted from a direct quote or to trail off intriguingly. If neither of these are your intention, try a period. Dot. Full stop. Terminal punctuation can be your friend.)


So I consider my self suitably chastised. I will go forth and sin no more...maybe.
