For starters, an ellipsis requires a space between each dot . . .

Really?!  I didn’t r realise that.

That is much more informative and interesting than the OP!

    i thought it just required three consecutive dots?

    obviously op got it all wrong with four, either way...

    from first gogol search result (and thus, the only one that anyone will pay attention to):

    An ellipsis ( ... ) consists of three evenly spaced periods and is used to indicate the omission of words or suggest an incomplete thought. In general, an ellipsis should be treated as a three-letter word, with a space, three periods and a space.

    My son is in advertising and he watches TV programs for the ads.

    I was taught to put a space following the ellipsis, before the next word, but no space between the ellipsis and the preceding word 🤷‍♀️

    Also, no space between the periods. Soz, @Skuit 😬

    Except not soz because you of all peeps know how pedantic I am, oh and that I’m never wrong 😝

    Ummmmm. . . Imagine starting a thread on this. 

    I suspect DeeBlood is actually dermie.

    Took umbrage at me calling him a clown and joking about his inability to string words together (a joke i rather embarrassingly mangled).

    binman, given your hippiness, try replacing the the 'um' with an 'ooommmm'

    would be much more smoothing and meditative to the listener

    Incorrect. While a space between each dot is acceptable, it is not required.

    I haven’t noticed the umms but I am glad that @binman has a new mic and doesn’t sound like he’s calling in from inside the stats file filing cabinet anymore 

    He actually doesn't have a new mic. He is using his old mic which has a broken stand so he has to use it the old fashioned way by holding it up to his mouth like he's commentating the cricket.

    To anyone listening live whenever Binman's voice goes in and out that is him moving the mic away from his mouth. If you listen to the podcast on one of the apps after the fact you won't hear that as the levels are fixed in post.

    The mic he used for a couple of weeks which sounded like he was broadcasting from a filing cabinet was an even older mic but I have a sneaking suspicion that that mic wasn't being used to capture the audio and the audio was being captured by his computer's built in mic.

    Having said all that even the most expensive mic will not fix all those worrisome ums.

    Appreciate the clarification and insight into the glamorous world of footy podcasting

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
