Dogs are not great at grammar and punctuation. They are still good dogs.

Different pause length than ... maybe

You really can’t judge a dog for not knowing about ellipses for pauses.

Plus, repeated commas pause your text-to-speech AI longer than periods or ellipses.

I don't use commas like that, but I wonder if they use commas like I use periods.

One comma means slight pause, natural speaking tone. It's still one continuous sentence.

But when I use three periods...it indicates...akward pauses...

They didn't mention having cheese once, I doubt they're French. Maybe Belgian.

I dunno, didn't see fries mentioned, either.
