An Open Letter to Autocorrectors

Dear Autocorrectors,

I know I use ellipses quite a bit. Not all the time, but quite a bit (it’s “cheap”, apparently, but hang with me.) And I know for a fact that three dots does not signify the end of a sentence, at least not unless I include another dot (ie, a period) after it. And yet, you keep treating ” … ” as the end of a sentence, and you capitalize the following word.

Stop! Just stop it. You’re wrong, okay?

Paul

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
