If I had free reign here, I would probably rewrite half of the texts because honestly, it would probably be faster in a lot of cases than to try and decipher some of the literal translations. I used to be pretty liberal with my edits but I don't think the people here like that, since it makes it harder to find certain points of a chapter to do translation checks and such, so I trying to loosen up in a sense. The overuse of ellipses bother me (a lot) as well but since Toradora isn't really a proper novel, I figure it's okay to leave them be, as long as they're present in the original Japanese text. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-deleted"></td><td class="diff-marker" data-marker="+"></td><td style="color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><ins style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">- [[User:Softtack|Softtack]] 13:42, 17 February 2009 (PST)</ins></div></td></tr> <!-- diff cache key haruhiwiki:diff:1.41:old-42669:rev-42678:php=table --> </table>

There are two possible reasons why he chose to add so many ellipses: 1) He really likes them or 2) That&#039;s where they are placed in the original novel. I can&#039;t verify 1 but as for 2, the translators here seem to like sticking to literal translations, which I don&#039;t really agree with. As a result, you will see ellipses of various sizes in places that don&#039;t make grammatical sense in English in the translated text. I don&#039;t have the time to go back and compare everything with the original so I&#039;m just leaving things as they are. If you feel that removing ellipses is necessary, by all means go right on ahead. All I will be doing for Hamster&#039;s translations is quick grammatical edits, since I feel like arguing about trivial shit anymore.<br /> <br /> - [[User:Softtack|Softtack]] 08:06, 17 February 2009 (PST)</div>
