IMMINENT (Punctuation)“..” or Double Dot (“for more to follow”) the missing piece of punctuation
Example within a sentence of Imminent: “The Imminent is placed at the end of a sentence to indicate that it is not the end of the subject, for there is more to follow.. either below in this content or in a further text.. the following word within the same text may start with or without a capital letter.”
“The use of the ellipsis, comma, hyphen or en dash were never suitable to inform the reader that there was imminently more content to follow, either in the current text or in a future text. An example in story..
“And they all lived happily ever after.” Period (the end).
“And they all lived happily ever after..” Imminent (for more to follow). Did they live happily ever after, a sequel or by-story to follow, the Imminent leaves the reader knowing there WILL be more to follow).
“And they all lived happily ever after…” Ellipsis (for when words are left out) and really who will know what those words are, the reader has no reason to expect more.” An example in email..
“The reader of this email knows when seeing an Imminent that the email or a further email / correspondence will contain further content on the subject.. In this case the further information is contained here.”
Another example in email..
When replying to an email, I wish to add an answer to the initial email at the end of the writers question.
“Q. What day follows Monday?”
To do this I would write..
“Dear John Thank you for your question which I have answered below..” “Q. What day follows Monday?” “A. Tuesday.”
As with Period, Ellipsis and most punctuation words, the Imminent is also Latin:
Period . [1]
Imminent ..
Ellipsis ... [2]
NOTE: A Double Dot in Morse Code stands for the letter “I”.
