I'm feeling much better these days. It's a wonder what therapy and antipsychotic medication (a/k/a happy pills) can do.

Incidentally, an ellipsis should only be used when some more text follows it. You should have ended your sentence with a period, Raven. Or, as you Europeans call it sometimes, a "full stop".

Dammit. I did it again.

Ahh, but in a dramatic sense, it is often used to indicate the tailing off of a train of thought, as I was doing there.  Sometimes, the rules of grammar have to be...'bent'...to produce the desired effect.... :innocent:

Mr. DICKtionary bends the rules for NO ONE.

Woe to you, oh 1337-speakers and careless typists, for the internet sends Mr. DICKtionary with wrath, because he knows your spelling is lousy.
 
Dolphins: There is a link on this bulletin board to a poll for folks' favorite albums:
http://forum.maidenfans.com/index.php?topic=7092.0

It gives a good picture of the collective view of the fans who post on this site.  Of course, people's individual preferences vary (I like to pretend that the albums between Seventh Son and Brave New World never happened, but as you can tell from this thread others would strongly disagree).

:uhm: Mr. DICKtionary, sir, I happen to notice that you have started one of your sentences below with the conjunction "or", which as you know is used exclusively to join words, phrases, and clauses and never to begin a sentence.  :oops: :halo:

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?

If Mr. Shakespeare can begin a line with "Or", then I can start a sentence that way.

you can start your sentences however you want, but in this quote of Hamlet you have a rhyme -not a sentence, and secondly as I see here, before 'or' is a virgule not a full stop

as of me, I like sentences that begin with or, I even like sentences that finish with or, but you know ...my English-glotism is HIGHLY disputing ...usually by you :Oskyldig:

A line, not a sentence.  It's drama, not prose, remember.  You can't slip out of your own rules that easily! :P
 
___no 5 I see an interesting word in your post. Apparently you have a smiley whose name is 'oskyldig'. Are you Swedish or is this just a random coincidence?
 
you should probably try the rock in rio concert album and death on the road :ok:
