Can you think of any brands from the English-speaking world that use an ellipsis in their advertising slogan and are widely recognized?
The only one that comes to mind is the slogan "Square, practical..." from the German candy brand Rittersport, and I'm looking for an English equivalent.

I’m doing the Apple News #Quartiles puzzle, there’s an interesting pair of words, amatory and defamatory. At first glance they look similar and one might think they were close…

I've been listening to podcasts about the Civil War and have been struck by how almost everyone mispronounces Ku Klux Klan, saying "CLUE" for the first part even though there is no "L". Among the offenders are commentators in Ken Burn's The Civil War, everyone on NPR news, and, if memory serves me, characters in the movie, BlacKkKlansman, which is astounding. I found an image from the 1930s that shows that it's not just a modern problem. Drives me nuts. #CivilWar #KuKluxKlan #KluKluxKlan #kkk #linquistics #language #history #spelling #racism #pennsylvania
