Stop what you are doing and look at your keyboard. On the second row from the bottom do you see keys on either side that are rectangles instead of squares?
They are called “shift keys”. When you hold one down and press a letter at the same time it makes the little letters big letters. This comes in very handy for starting out sentences. USE THEM. I don’t know when the memo went out, I must have missed it, but it seems you’ve collectively decided that capitalization is no longer required. I didn’t spend all that time in school diagramming sentences and being yelled at over comma splices for you to come in and arbitrarily eliminate one of grammar’s most basic rules.
Stop!
And, for the record, an ellipsis has only three dots. Not eight, not two and certainly not random numbers. It is not Morse Code.
