Ellipses with other punctuation?

[xxxsylviaplathxxx]

Hey Armadillos,

I was wondering if there is a definite rule of putting ellipses with other punctuation (e.g.: "Watch out for the...!" or "Are you really...?"). As you can see, I just tack on an exclamation point or question mark at the end, but I have some people write it as "..!/..?"

Thanks in advance. ;D

If what is being omitted comes between the ellipses and the other punctuation, then you're more than welcome to use other punctuation. Two fullstops do not make an ellipses; three or four do, so using two is incorrect. "Replacing" one of the fullstops with the dot at the bottom of other punctuation doesn't "count" as the third fullstop in an ellipses, so to speak.

An ellipsis is three periods "..."

Adding ending punctuation? Do it after. And yes, that includes periods. So an ellipsis at the end of a sentence with a period should have four: ....
