== Punctuation ==

I have at this point refrained to put punctuation in dialogue sentences that end in either a string of dots or that are ending in -----. What does everyone think about just not putting punctuation after these sentences, or should we just put punctuation after everything? -- [[User:Gulcasa766|Gulcasa766]] ([[User talk:Gulcasa766|Gulcasa766]]) 12 October 2013.

In my opinion, we need to continue the sentence following a string of ----. When you have those marks in a sentence it means there is a pause (longer then a comma[,] or semi-colon[;]) so the sentence should read as follows:

However — having us do that while understanding what’s go through our mind is what you would call the whisper of a devil. (Volume 1, Chapter 1, Part 1)

You could write this with a comma and it would be grammatically correct but the dash indicates a longer pause then a comma. If it were spoken you would read the sentence like this, giving say three seconds before continuing; '''However -(1..2..3..)- having us do that while understanding what’s go through our mind is what you would call the whisper of a devil.'''. The sentence is meant to emphasis the realization of the heaviness of their current predicament. So having a sentence which is ended with a dash should be left without adding punctuation as the following sentence or line is supposed to be a continuation of another sentence. If the subject matter of the second sentence does not pertain to the first, then the dash marks should be eliminated and another form of time emphasis should be established, like breaking it into a separate line or paragraph or adding text which indicates a time break. 

Again this is just my opinion, so we should come to a consensus as Editors and Translators. -- [[User:JesseAlexander|JesseAlexander]] ([[User talk:JesseAlexander|talk]]) 22:09, 12 October 2013 (CDT)

No touchy any "-----" me no likey :D. And any questions regarding that particular chapter, please leave it in the discussion page of that chapter --[[User:RikiNutcase|RikiNutcase]] ([[User talk:RikiNutcase|talk]]) 22:33, 12 October 2013 (CDT)

I find more that the ----- at the end of characters speaking is more put in to show breaking points or events happening either during or directly after the character has said that line, I don't see a point in continuing the sentence because it has effectively ended. Though I think we're talking about different things here, I'm talking strictly on lines where characters speak, not narration. “Actually, I want you to eat celery and eggplant-------“ Like this from early in chapter 3. The sentence ends with dashes and an event happens directly after it. [[User:Gulcasa766|Gulcasa766]] ([[User talk:Gulcasa766|Gulcasa766]])

-==== Sentence needs Correction ====
-The following sentence is in need of help and clarification: My precious daily life-------- towards my best friend who destroyed everything, in order to slam these black feelings at him.
-Grammatically it makes absolutely no sense and unless the subject and purpose are explained to me, then I cannot fix it. What does his precious life refer to? Does this mean his past life or does it refer to his new way of life, i.e.  training to get power? Does the portion following the dash lines refer the motivation for his hate and rage and how he will get his revenge? How does it relate to the first part of the sentence?
-I already tried to pull context from the lines before and after, but it did not help. thanks for the help [[User:JesseAlexander|JesseAlexander]] ([[User talk:JesseAlexander|talk]]) 15:37, 31 December 2013 (CST)
