Blasphemy.

Hey, you clearly understood my meaning despite me not capitalizing my sentence 8) That says a lot!

[Ouch!]

It says I've conditioned myself not to complain about grammar on the internet because it annoys people and gains me nothing but obnoxious nicknames such as Grammar Nazi.

Provided it's understandable and conducted in a reasonable manner, I'm not too fussy about grammar. I'd use a semi colon in that case because everyone loves (or should love) semi-colons. But then again, I use brackets like there's no tomorrow, so perhaps it's a bit hypocritical for me to make judgements on the grammar of others.

Alrighty, I made lots of revisions. Makes me happy, because she can be a Nazi. Not horrible, but sometimes. Mostly I subtracted many colons in favor of more sensible things. And I love the semi-colon, hoorah!

The definitions here were much more helpful than anything on Wiki. I might have to pick this book if I'm gonna be doing this a lot. Thanks a lot for the help on my question, fellas.

Well, since that particular problem is resolved, and since this was created as a general grammar trouble thread, I thought I'd bring up another problem. Granted, I do not make this mistake, but it seems everyone else does.

An ellipsis has three stops--not two, three! That is all.

Unless it terminates a sentence, and there are no sentences following! In which case, it is four....
