How many periods?
When you're about to trail off of a sentence, is it ok to have two periods, or is it always three?
For instance:
This is my sentence..
or
This is my sentence...
and also, is there a difference with before a sentence:
..This is my sentence
...This is my sentence
is it EVER ok to have 2 periods instead of 3?
