ellipsis ( … ):
Use an ellipsis (plural “ellipses”) to indicate the deletion of one or more words when condensing quotes. Be careful not to distort the meaning when shortening quotes. In general, treat an ellipsis as a three-letter word constructed with three periods and two spaces, as shown above. For complete details of punctuating ellipses, see AP.
See brackets ([/]) above for words inserted in a quotation.
email (not “e-mail” or “Email” or “E-mail”):
In directories, no need to preface email addresses with “email.”
