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.

    Funnily enough I listen to the Pod for the bits between the ums.

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

    Each to his own.

    I reckon you would be box office picket. Not sure in a good way but box office none the less.

    make it happen @Demonland

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
