 * Seems to be a small bug. It looks like the plugin adds … after full title, not
   cut off title. Just needs to be moved:
 *     ```
       if (substr($content, $MaxLength, 1) == " ") {
             $content = implode(" ", $aWords).'…';
           } else {
             $content = implode(" ", array_slice($aWords, 0, -1));
           }
       ```

 * Shouldn’t the `…` be after both?

 * … indicates that something continues, so it would be best for it to be after 
   truncated title to indicate it was cut and continues. That’s just my opinion.
 * It’s called an ellipsis, you can see what it means here

 * That’s why I changed it on our blog.

 * Agreed on the meaning. The reason why I say it needs to be on both places is 
   because the portion of the code that you referred to corresponds to the truncated
   title.
 * In the else part of the code, the last element of the array is dropped to remove
   the half word.

 * When it’s active, having … in the else portion adds it to full title that is 
   within character limit. That’s why I moved it to if. Then it shows after title
   was cut.

 * Understood. I’m going to run a few tests with varying title limits and lengths
   to try to get a proper solution.
