I'm not though, I don't care if there is a space two spaces or no spaces at all. 😉
You may not care about the number of spaces but please... an extra "O" in George?

It is for the spelling coppers, they love to nit-pick about it. 😉

And I don't like then* not to have anything to correct. Who says I don't think of others.😏

No. I only correct correctors (including Noodles).

Do you know you are off topic in every single thread you went into?

You want to know if I can shoot you with a cannon? I think that might be against the law, but hell if not ones looking why not. 😛

Thanks "TIPS".

Somewhere along the way believe I may have concluded that these two conventions

well, there was only one thing wrong with your response . . . the second exemplar has four dots. Nowhere in the known universe do four space-dots exist as an editorial implementation. A perfection of "only one thing wrong with" ! ! ! *

True enough, but if I had spelled elipsis right, then there wouldn't have been anything wrong with my posting, would there?

Now that you mention it ...

Some document programs use a single-key coded ellipsis (three dots without full spaces).

And some people even think (space) dot (space) dot (space) dot is archaic.

And you would need to use four dots if the ellipsis appeared at the end of a sentence.

But other than that ...

Justice code of the 'Loose Lips Sink Ships' nit-picky police patrolling for a sighting of a tight 'elipse'

invariably calls for at least three public lashings from one of coquette's jewel tipped virtual whips...


Ouch.
