Yeah, but it's kind of unfair. He would have been fine if he had a decent mentor. [...][come and get me, Gatti...]

But for the record, it wasn't the ellipsis using that bothered me. It was the brackets around them.

I am sorry to hear this, in part because we already have operatives in the ChicagoLand area. After all, I liked you.
Wonk, please execute Operation Pastrami.

All of which is to say, please feel free to continue with this let's-use-ellipses-annoyingly-to-irritate-Adder theme, but if during that time, anyone uses the ellipsis to higlight some lame punchline I will organize a coalition of the like-minded to hunt you down and fucking kill you.
Carry on.

As linkage, they're ideal. Say you want to shovel fifty thoughts into a space that ought to fit twenty... Ellipses! You can chop formal sentences down to phrases and create a paragraph that bounds forward where normal language would start/complete thought/finish/start again. Good way to make shit seamless.

We have no operatives in the Pacific Northwest at the moment, so you might have to wait a bit.
Alternatively, we could stage a to-the-death Prius road rally. Winner gets to pry the battery from the dead carcass of the loser and convert to a pure-electric car.

And that's the last we'll see of Wonk. Thanks a lot, Gatti.

Yes. Best example?: "I like to keep track of how many men the girl I'm dating fucked. How do I tell her her number is wrong because she left out the guy who raped her?"
