| S May 8, 2023 at 16:19 | comment | added | bmike♦ | I’m voting to close this question because you seem to be asking all sorts of questions about Apple UI design and aren't including a relevant practical problem you face. Keep in mind - developers of software should be asking questions on Stack Overflow or other places designed to learn the craft of software design. We focus on practical questions - so if you really can't understand how to operate the OS - that's legitimately on scope, but what are you trying to solve here? | |

Pedantic fixing of singular and plural - ellipsis and ellipses.

| May 8, 2023 at 9:14 | comment | added | Gilby | Your "interesting article" only describes one use of the ellipsis - indicating omitted words in a sentence or paragraph. Ellipses are also used to indicate an unfinished phrase or sentence. See stylemanual.gov.au/grammar-punctuation-and-conventions/…. It is the second meaning that leads to Apple's usage. | |
