For now, though, you're free to turn off the auto-correct if you wish. The instructions are at the top of every forum.

Turning off the word censoring is indeed an option. Turning off auto-correct is not an option. Are you being disingenuous or am I missing something, Shades?

You're right. I should've specified that I meant "the royal you."

There's no such thing as "the royal you." Even if there were, I'm sure it would be as condescendingly used as "the royal we."

So true, Lem. I can't express my distain for the autocorrect function adequately.

And just think: If you could only discipline yourself to use your filthy language in the Telestial...

Fricking google it, Shades. Or check any of the dozens of English language stylebooks.

In this case, "information" is a complete sentence, so the ellipsis begins directly after the final word (without a space between them). So I was correct.

No. You'd need four dots for that.

Shades, Tell me if this clears up any of the uncertainties you have regarding "causation": https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-government-resume-capital-punishment-after-nearly-two-decade-lapse Attorney General William P. Barr has directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to adopt a proposed ...

Oh really? So the unprecedented rush of federal executions in the 'lame duck' period is nothing to do with Trump? Correlation does not imply causation. Some minor bureaucrat just decided to celebrate his departure this way. I don't know if it's one or several bureaucrats. . . or, more likely, judge...
