there needs to be something that's like halfway between a period and a comma. we really mumped up there.
you can connect two closely related independent clauses with a semicolon if that's your style.

what i want is the ability to induce an extended pause after a series of words that isn't a sentence. partly for the induced pause, but also because of inflection difference that come along with it. weird i guess, but that's what i want. and i don't think there is something that allows me to do that. dunno.

    i think what you're looking for is between 7-9 spaces      give it a shot and let me know if it works and how great it feels

Pretty convenient that pclams -- known apostrophe lobbyist -- is running a smear campaign on the comma but not saying a word about the apostrophe. It's the exact same thing, only difference being location. Unreal. Just wow.

That he is a devoted man of letters is his one truly redeeming quality...
