Q: Proper way to punctuate an abrupt stopping of speech?

JezI'd like to properly punctuate one of my characters being stopped in speech, followed by a sentence that explains that the character didn't have time to finish. It's going to be something like this, but I've probably gotten the punctuation and/or paragraphing a bit wrong (please submit the corre...

Q: When Ghostwriting is legal and ethical

caseyr547I used something like a ghostwriter to help quickly publish a research paper. I was called before the chair of my department years ago and called a cheat and a liar. The ghost did appear as lesser co-author as I always intended and had previously agreed. I wanted to explain why it was very ethica...

Q: Explaining charts

MuratI would like to write an essay which gives information about the charts but because I am not native English speaker, when I started to write down my essay I came across the similar problems that I do sometimes. This is my draft first paragraph: Figure 1 and figure 2 show the percentage of p...

 
Anyone there?
 
@DeltaEscher I am here.
 
Great!
 
How is your essay?
 
Bleh
No free computer time at home yesterday
And you took up all my school time XD
But it's going ok
Want to read it?
 
6:39 PM
I am typing an email to Kit, and also listening to a documentary on Stephen Hawking.
@DeltaEscher Your essay? Hmm, I am not really interested in coding, sorry.
 
That's nice.
@ABeautifulMind Alright

Q: Writing content for website

AndrewI am an undergraduate student in Computer Science, me and some of my friends are interested in creating a website to teach programming languages and some mathematics topic which are required to be a good programmer, while writing and teaching about programming language is rather easy when compare...

 
I hate that
When the questions pop up :/
 
It's just the automatic feed.
 
I know.
Still annoying
@ABeautifulMind What have you written?
 
6:50 PM
@DeltaEscher Well, I am just talking about my mental problems with her. It's really hard for me. I stopped medication last year, but I will resume it soon.
 
@ABeautifulMind Not that, I meant stories and poetry, though that's nice too.
 
@DeltaEscher Oh, I have not written any. =)
The last time I wrote a story was in high school I think!
 
@ABeautifulMind What was it about?
 
@DeltaEscher I was just referring to the homework that we have now and then, I can't remember anything I have written!
 
@ABeautifulMind
@ABeautifulMind Agh, screwed that up and sent without typing. I was going to say you should sometime. I'd love to read it.
 
6:54 PM
@DeltaEscher Do you have good friends in real life?
 
@ABeautifulMind I do.
You tend to meet at least one alike person in our school.
And I had the unique power of older kids liking me in middle school.
So a lot of my good friends are long gone.
But I had some great people by my side.
 
My friends now are all from high school. But they don't really understand me very much now.
 
No one will. No one can understand the enigma of your life and the hardships you have faced.
I look past those and see the person inside though. I am the closest I'll ever be to you.
 
Yes. I did not expect my condition would get so bad.
 
Such is the penalty of all hardships.
We just try[sic] to move on
 
7:01 PM
Why sic?
 
It means it was put there originally, sometimes as a meaning.
It's my metaphor that I use to say we never truly move on.
 
I know, but I don't get what you are trying to do there. Oh.
 
We only get back to where we started.
 
I think you know a lot for a 13 year old.
Do you have a girlfriend?
 
No.
I have a pretty great girl friend.
I don't think I'll get married though.
I'm just going to adopt a child.
 
7:03 PM
I never had one either. I will try to find one when I am well, not now.
 
I don't know who I want to marry is the actual reason.
Maybe I'll die just getting to know them.
But most likely I'll never find anyone.
 
Well, life often surprises you.
 
It sure does.
I was surprised SE had a chat room.
cue rimshot
Aw, my bad puns killed you.
I thought tuesday was the last time...
 
I have never talked to a 13 year old who talks like a 20 year old.
 
I've never met someone who's been through so much who talks like someone living prospering.
 
7:07 PM
I am kind of a Buddhist, and I believe in kamma and rebirth.
Are you familiar with Buddhism? It is interesting to study it academically.
 
I am kind of a Buddhist too then.
I believe the next life will be a grain of silt.
 
I always say I hope to be reborn in Germany my next life.
 
Why?
 
It's just my favourite country, for various reasons. Let me go pee first.
 
SORRY I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF: Typo: I am kind of a Buddhist, and I belive in karma and rebirth.
@ABeautifulMind Working on my essay, ping me when you get back
 
7:11 PM
@DeltaEscher I am back. Karma is Sanskrit, kamma is Pali.
 
Oh. Any actual difference in meaning?
 
Same word in different languages.
Pali is the original text.
Then it got translated into Sanskrit.
Pali is a dead language.
Only Buddhist scholars learn it.
 
Oh, that's interesting.
I was asking if the definition was different though XD
 
Same thing, exactly.
 
Really interesting though, not kidding.
So many English synonyms.
 
7:13 PM
Just like nirvana and nibbana.
Do you have any siblings?
I have none.
 
I have a sister.
She's the favorite.
 
OK. At least she can take care of you. If my mum dies and I am still sick, I have noone to turn to.
 
And because I pointed it out once, my dad made it a running joke[sic]
Wow. That's kind of sad.
I almost don't want to point out the type, but it's and urge that is uncontainale.
No one cannot be turned into a single word
God, I'm a huge jerk
 
Haha.
Tue is writing day in this chat.
Someone suggests a topic and everyone spends about 10 min writing up on it.
 
Choose one.
 
7:20 PM
Not now. You can come on Tue if you want. I usually don't write. I just come to chat.
 
OH
I thought it was tuesday
lol
 
Have you watched the movie of my username?
 
Not yet,
What's it about.
Is it on Youtube?
 
It's about a mathematician with schizophrenia.
Based on the real life of John Nash, with details amended.
 
Sounds thinky.
I like it.
I'll watch it if I can find it for free.
Limited funds because I'm 13.
 
Fudge,
I'm at school.
 
Watch at home.
 
We can't stream personal things.
E-mail me the link
@ABeautifulMind Got iy
@ABeautifulMind I should focus only on work now.
@ABeautifulMind Be back in about 40 minutes though.
 
8:14 PM
@ABeautifulMind I'm back
