Ellipsis tour and slash "maha's blog
I am again busy with proofreading, and there a few errors occur repeatedly, I would like to once again leave a few tips on punctuation here. (Ie without gap) connected that in the German punctuation punctuation such as a period, comma, colon, semicolon, question mark and exclamation point directly to the last word, it should be clear by now to anyone. An incorrect space before the punctuation mark is called Plenk. The ellipsis ("...") it is a much more complicated. They stand only without gap when a word is incomplete (Cond ... instead tour of cursing). If an entire word or words omitted are the three points with a space: I came, I saw ... I came for, saw, conquered. The example also shows very well that before the three points there is no comma, then no additional point. Background
The three points are actually an acronym (abbreviation) for etc. etc. or you will be read as "and so on" (rather tour than "dot, dot, dot"). Before or etc. etc. of course is no comma and thus not before the ellipsis, which, incidentally, own typographic characters and not simply the combination of three points. Slash
If it is at all possible, you should avoid the slash, for he must be without spacing (except in a special function), there is often a long uninterrupted string that does not allow a line break. Inevitably, the slash is probably in expressions like winter semester 2008-09 or Münster / Osnabrück airport. Many users of word processing programs write Münster / Osnabrück, which not only looks bad, but is just plain wrong. By far the slash can be used only if you want to write verses without line breaks: "are exempt from the ice stream and brook / by the Spring holden invigorating view / in the valley flourishes hope luck; / The old winter in his weakness, / ... "(Goethe). Background
In the examples tour the winter semester 2008-09 or airport Münster / Osnabrück, the slash is comparable with the hyphen punctuation and stands as the dash without distance. When Verstrennung is the continuation of Virgel, a delimiter, which dates back to medieval manuscripts. There is a reading aid, but also an abbreviation for et, and '; Therefore, it is free. From Virgel later formed the comma as a punctuation mark is again no spaces.
