Did you all learn to diagram sentences?

We had to do that, we had to memorize types of words, types of phrases, etc.

Also she made us write in cursive

Never use an ellipsis to begin a quotation, or when individual words are merely altered.

When using quoted language as a phrase or clause, rather than as a full sentence, do not indicate omission of matter before or after a quotation.

Where language beginning the original sentence has been deleted, capitalize the first letter and place it in brackets if it is not already capitalized. If the sentence begins the quotation, do not otherwise indicate any omission.

Do not indicate the deletion of matter after the period or other final punctuation that concludes a final quoted sentence. If language after the end of a quoted sentence is deleted and the sentence is followed by further quotation, however, retain the punctuation at the end of the sentence and insert an ellipsis before the remainder of the quotation.

If language both at the end and after the end of a quoted sentence is deleted and followed by further quotation, use only one ellipsis to indicate both of the omissions.

There are additional rules regarding the use of ellipses and the omission of material from paragraphs, but I will charge a fee to share those.

You realize I enjoy writing, please don't make my brain hurt with rules that I have no intention of either following or bend to such a degree that I don't care either way
They really are not that difficult to understand if you keep in mind the overarching idea of giving clear notice about what is being taken out to your reading audience.

Isn't that normally the point?

If your "Grammarly" didn't pick up that comma splice, kick it to the curb, and try to avoid asking people to mind their grammar in the future.

Oxford comma is for bitches.

Cast them off, and join the future with your sentences unshackled by clunky extra commas.

Actually, I have the Oxford comma turned off, my wife yelled at me for using it, she kept telling me it was unneeded.

Fuck off commie. I've never seen a grammar program that works well. Something tells me it's not very easy to make.
