Hug a GI Day
I suppose my gastro-intestinal tract could use some affection . . .
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
So Chicago or AP?
Chicago says that ellipses should be three dots separated by non-breaking spaces (. . .) instead of just three dots (...). That is just SO WRONG. I cannot abide.

Because books.
It is so right!
I love Chicago. Even though I'm supposed to edit AP style now.

I prefer the look of the spaces between the dots, but it makes text formatting tricky.

Spaces between the dots is what I was taught, but I frequently have trouble making it look right and resort to no spaces.

Grammar Day will be a state holiday on Buffista Island, I assume. With cake and pie and absinthe and long discussions about how to punctuate lists of same.

Because books.
And everyone will wear a crown of semi-colons.

I was confused by Hug a GI day as well, since I am working on and Anatomy and Physiology course right now!
I can't imagine spaces between the periods in ellipses, but I calso can't stop myself from doing 2 spaces after a period. I actually find it easier to read.

Oh, no, Amy!
For today's celebrations, I vote for AP style and pound cake.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So sorry, Amy!
