Puntinicazpuntini I would be tempted to let you find the solution on your own, but today I feel generous: "...a finger, an elbow OB-VIO IT'S just a page..." "so similar to ours but, YES, just a comma...". Bartleboom: .. a ......!

Well...

Congratulations on the nickname.

Punticazpuntini... with you, time on Debaser seems like it will never pass... and this can also be a good thing. From the website of the Accademia della Crusca: "Ellipses are always used in sets of three, to indicate a pause in the discourse, thus a longer pause than a period. In philology, ellipses placed in square brackets serve to signal the omission of letters, words, or phrases from a quoted text (Malagoli 1912 wrote: «if they indicate an omission of letters in a word, there are as many dots as there are missing letters»)." From the above, it is clear that my ellipses, unless in sets of three, are replacing a word with as many letters as there are ellipses. Malagoli docet. As for uppercase letters, it is clear that there is a misunderstanding on your part in their usage. The use of uppercase letters in the Italian language is quite controversial. I always quote from the Accademia della Crusca: "Except for those that are indisputable proper names (Anna, Buridano, Lettonia), the use of uppercase in Italian presents many grey areas because grammatical reasons (in particular the not always clear boundary between 'proper noun' and 'common noun') intertwine with more or less conscious ideological reasons. A 'common noun' like avvocato can be written with an uppercase letter in reference to a well-defined individual ('Ah! Let me introduce you, wait, the Avvocato, a dear friend of my husband...' Gozzano; and think of the Avvocato par excellence that newspapers write about, namely Gianni Agnelli). The name papa, usually written in lowercase, can receive an uppercase letter when referring to the reigning pontiff: the Papa, without further specifications, is Giovanni Paolo II. But there can be various motivations: the Papa of a Catholic or a lay admirer of the institution or that single pontiff can be contrasted with the papa of an agnostic or an antclerical."

Alia76 "literary void" in what sense? Before answering: have you read anything by King, and if so: what? Have you placed King in the right position in the history of American literature (and let’s also include world literature)? Did you perhaps confuse how King is (was) regarded by some picky critic with what he actually is? Finally... what does the direction of the movie "Brivido" have to do with this? We are talking about King the writer, because if we want to expand the conversation, then consider the films "Shining" by Stanley Kubrick, "Carrie" - "The Devil's Look" by Brian De Palma, "The Shawshank Redemption" by Frank Darabont, "Stand by Me" by Rob Reiner, "Misery" by Rob Reiner, "The Dead Zone" by David Cronenberg, "The Green Mile" by Frank Darabont, "Creepshow" by George A. Romero, "The Mist" by Frank Darabont. All based on his stories.

PCP: "I'll tell you one thing though: what about the mustache? Is it itchy?" :-) Magnum P.I. I agree, 5 is too much for this book... it's just that I like it a 5.

Puntincazpuntini... if you had, for example, read It (and I really think you have...) or other works by King, you would know very well that dots, ellipses, and capital letters to "noun-ify" everything were (at least with Dobner) the order of the day. For Bartle, however, the discourse is different.......................... .

Dreamwarrior: compared to the books he has written, this might deserve a 4, but it has been a long time since I enjoyed a text by King. Certainly, Different Seasons is of another caliber, maybe even Four Past Midnight is better, but this is... all substance, few descriptions, a lot of action, and also good psychological introspection. Tomgil: I haven't read Dumakey, but I've heard bad things about it. This one is good, you definitely have some very good endings...

I know it's not their best album, I know it's super-commercial, I know it's not exceptional, yet I love it.

Puntinicazpuntini, you don't impress me at all, just so you know.
