My friend Gloria wrote in her blog that... (dot, dot, dot) is her favorite punctuation mark. Hey! Mine, too! However, she says, and I will quote her loveliness now: "it's the perfect punctuation for irritation, impatience or bad attitude." I must say that I completely disagree. For me, it is much more useful as a pause, a chance to ponder or to give weight to what was just said. Also, it is a wonderful tool to end a sentence, paragraph, or even an entire blog post, story, novel, what have you, by simply drifting away, leaving the reader with the opportunity to add more, as it were, to the story one didn't quite finish...
What is your favorite punctuation mark?
The midnight bells have long since tolled, baby is pattering down the hall, I should go to bed... (oh, what does she mean by that? only you can fill in the details...)
