For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

    There is also a space after an ellipsis… like this.

    Not…like this.

    I don’t care if everyone does it wrong, it’s both harder to read (less functional) and it flies against normal punctuation conventions.

    Also, don’t get your punctuation inspiration from Japanese games. An ellipsis is three periods, no more. Exclamation mark always goes after question mark. (“?!” = correct) Japan adopted our punctuation marks and did it their way. If you’re writing in English, do it the English-language way.
