    You can't double punctuate (in most cases).

    So technically that counted as the end of the sentence. Thus needing capitalization at the after the break

    No, technically it counted as a typo, as in he accidentally clicked the period an extra time.

    First off, it's an ellipsis, or many ellipses, second of all, many consider a four period ellipsis to be correct, although it's true that three periods is the more commonly accepted way of doing it. Not to mention that the four period method is really mainly for when used at the end of a sentence when no other sentence follows, but as we can see, a sentence did follow mine, so you may consider it incorrect if you wish.
    Also, to be honest, I don't really count my periods after bashing on the button a few times, which tends to result in me typing out four of them once in a while.

    Yes, read above. Also note, it's AN, not A, as well as ellipsis, not ellipses. Ellipses is the plural form.

    This.
    One could also consider the minuscule 'a' in the word 'am' to be a typo, but people such as Syphongamer08 are quick to judge other people's spelling and/or grammar before checking their own (as pointed out above), and they don't seem to understand the difference between a typo, and being an idiot.
    He also seems to think that I really care about the fact that I did not capitalize the 'a', and I guess he feels special 'correcting' me, but what he doesn't realize is that jst bcuz i dnt typ lik dis doesn't mean I care about little errors....

    (P.S: Notice four period ellipsis, no sentence follows, and no this does not count.)

    Wow Wiy... we can always count on you to not only cross the line, but to take a piss on it, and then skip over it while laughing all giddy on your way to grandma's house.

    if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right. and i'd say he did it pretty damn well.
