Use four at the end of a grammatically complete sentence, but
you could say that one is the period and three comprise the
elipsis.


Interesting. I never saw that, but it sounds correct.

Unless you are specifically referring to an elipsis instead of
an
ellipsis. Tee Hee Hee.

No. People continually make solipsisms but I study grammar and
vocabulary deciduously. That's how I know the conic sections,
ellipsis, hyperbole, and parable.


You simply left an L out and I made a joke.

I know, so I made five jokes.

Attempted to make five jokes. Succeeded in making one pratfall.

jesus, you still alive ?

I've neem gone for some time from here, I would of assumed that you
finally bit the dust in that old age retirement home..

You've been gone a lot longer than you think, and this new post from you merely confirms the diagnosis.

I am sure you are the party monger at that old age recrutement home.

So how many times a week do you lend your dentures out to your fellow
room mates so they can chew that tough food they serve there ?

I hope you keep the keyboard clean, especially after you get done using
it, I don't think the next user would appreciate all that drool on it
after you get done using the community computer.

But then again, what they don't know won't hurt them or may kill them
so what the hell, might as well clean your nose there too...

Yup, group homes are a bastard to be in, the pandemic would rip through
that like paper..

Jamie does have a lively imagination. He can't spell recruitment and probably meant retirement, so the rest of his brain isn't so well off.

The nursing home in which my mother spent the last five years of her life in was a pretty comfortable place - not cheap, but well worth the money.

Maybe Jamie is having to cope with something cheaper and nastier - there may be some justice in the world, since he's so fond of cheap, nasty and totally irrelevant abuse.
