Does anybody know how to type an (…) on for ? I can't find the answer anywhere, and gives me nothing useful. 🤦🏽‍♂️

And another thing . . .

Dear Consortium, OS vendors, and developers.

Fix the situation. styling demands ... (three dots in a row) and () . . . (three dots spaced out, but still a single character). Most narrative writers (fiction, memoir, etc.) standardize on Chicago styling.

A character exists to support the AP styled ellipsis. But for Chicago we have to type [dot] [non-breaking space] [dot] [non-breaking space] [dot]. This. Sucks. FIX IT!

@johnhowesauthor Yes. Style is important. There's the danger of making it sound cold, but remember I'm talking about narration primarily, not necessarily dialog. and (the lack thereof) is my chief problem, the one the agent and publisher flagged. This is where I start serious , as I am right now.

Another method is to keep and from butting into each other:

She took a drink, looked outside. "The problem is we tried too hard."

Above, you show her through - drinking, looking away - not dialogue tags.

Or, create the w/ an unobtrusive "said" tag:

"Problem is," she said, "we tried too hard."

Or, show a pause w/ just an :

"The problem is...we tried too hard."

There's some controversy about … vs . . . ?

I'm . . . probably.

Another way is to slow down the reading with a extra short paragraphs, an … or — though…

They're not always successful, haha.
