unironically my family ):
Please learn punctuation…
I think the lack of commas is a deliberate choice to give the impression that the character is crashing out and screaming these things breathlessly.
Sounds about right
Please learn punctuation…
Where’s the rest of the post? We expect you to continue your quotation after an ellipsis!
I use it as an artistic way of showing that my words fade away, as I die.
It doesn’t compromise the readability of my comment, therefore it is fine.
You may also provide the source of your findings, that make you think it has to be continued.
:3
Are all German people like this or is it just the Redditors?
Your grammar is better than people from any English speaking country, so of course you know that an ellipsis represents an omission of one or more words within a quoted passage. At least, this is assuming you are following the AP Styleguide—if you were using the Chicago Manual, your ellipsis use would have been very different! We’ll be proceeding with our formal complaint under that assumption.
In colloquial writing, you may occasionally see the ellipsis used in ways that deviate from formal style manuals. Those include:
- An expression of longing.
- A pause in speaking.
- A leading statement.
- An unfinished thought.
- An echo (in groups of three identical dependent clauses).
However, none of those apply to this situation. As a perfect grammarian, you surely understand how everybody was caught off guard by your unclear punctuation use. Many of us spent the last eight hours confused about what happened to the rest of your comment. Who were you quoting? What else did they have to say?
Please let us know so that we can clear up this misunderstanding once and for all.
The fuck is your point?
it is a clear disapproval of the persian gusano’s genocidal tendencies. they must learn consent manufacturing from their betters
I am now even more confused.
I want to spread awareness about writing AND talking English, because apparently I use better grammar, than a person from any English speaking country. And that is sad
Also, i had to read the post multiple times, just to understand the structure.
And of course it’s a German lol

The sheer number of grammatical errors in this entire comment would speak otherwise. In fact, the mechanics, usage, and grammar are actually all incorrect and you write with a similar caliber of legibility to what you’re critiquing here.
As, what I imagine to be, a non-native English-speaker I’m not going to address the structural and mechanical errors, but you should definitely reevaluate how you use commas. Check this link out for basic proper comma usage rules in English. Make sure to pay attention to the sections the dictate rules for parenthetical interruptor statements and non-restrictive or relative clauses.
