I think the first one I had was a manual Royal. I still have my electric Smith corona. We also have one that looks like the Underwood that traveler linked to. It is a Woodstock and weighs a ton.

I was taught the same thing in high school. Several years ago I was taking a refresher course in college and was told to that the rule now is for single space after a sentence. I couldn't do it. I got points off my projects for punctuation errors. It was just so ingrained in me that I couldn't remember. shame (And I didn't really believe I was wrong... angel )

I remember a roller-ball...

You aren't. -grin -Here's to clarity in text!

The only thing wrong with us is that we can't figure out what game hamer is looking for. -I can see an image of a guy in a suit trying to get into this ramshackle old house (that Cthulhu thing) but I cannot for the life of me remember what game that was. -And it's probably not the right one anyway.

hamer, do you suppose it was a free game? From AGS maybe? Maybe you could look there.


Gil.
I won't do that forever, just having fun with -. I do type it in correctly, it just comes out wrong when it shows up on the forum. (big grin, lotsa teeth)

The only game that springs to mind for me with a cabin, wolves, wolf following and magic is Gabriel Knight 2 - The Beast Within. Was it a FMV game Hamer?

Hamer -- about what year was the game released? You could look at the "years" category in the Pagoda Game Database to see if any of the titles look familiar.

3 dots to an ellipse, the top one is correct.

Hamer


It's been a long time and memory is faded, but does Thorgel's Quest ring a bell?

BubbaJake -- Well, I researched this a bit more. grin and neither of the examples I gave are technically correct.

If you were typing a document you were going to hand to someone (not sure how trying to code this would work, so maybe internet rules are different) You would use an ellipsis (3 dots -- called ellipsis marks, even though they look just like dots to me -- with a space between each ellipsis mark) and then a period since the ellipsis is at the end of the sentence.

Maybe I should notify a moderator . . . .

Somehow this all seems crazily scrupulous, though. Just throwing a bunch of dots down in whatever number is much more cool.

IMHO

For what it's worth.

For those careful enough to want to use ellipses correctly.

Hamer -- did you ever figure out that game? think

Yes .... Although I do try to always use proper "grammar" I must admit to throwing dots down with gay abandon on any occasion !!!! laugh laugh
