because saying:
Donald’s nephews are Louie, Dewey, Huey…
is different from

Odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, …

Anyway, The Chicago manual of style has that form.

Actually my English(!) spellchecker hasn’t complaint about that. So I still assume that this is a valid synonym for sandwich and won’t correct it in my post above.

Yes because knowing that those are all his nephews you would just stop after the third one and don´t write it like that at all.

Yep, where all nitpicking gamers!

I don’t see the difference. If you mean Louie, Dewey and Huey are the only nephews, there shouldn’t be an ellipsis in the first place – it should just be: ‘Donald’s nephews are Louie, Dewey and Huey.’

Edit: Milan beat me :heart_eyes:

That looks odd out of context.

Have you noticed that google now translates wrongly spelled words? You have your typo in giant letters then an = and the translation. It is sooooo confusing.

It even wrongly translates correctly spelled words! :joy:

It would be funny if it would apply an equivalent spelling error to the translation as to convey the same level of “dumbness”.

I disagree.

I use the iteration form “, …” if the nephews are more than three.
I use the suspension form if I need suspension…
Like here^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Or like here:
Let’s se… Donald’s nephews are Louie, Dewey, Huey… while Daisy’s nieces are April, May, June.
