I know I'm nit-picking but... can you carry after you've ended your dribble?

Yes. You can only carry after you've ended the first dribble. A carry is just a special case of the illegal (double) dribble or the travel rule.
To carry, you must end the first dribble by briefly catching the ball and then start a new dribble. If the action which starts the carry is not followed by another dribble, it is not a violation, it is only the end of the first dribble.
It just all happens so much faster than a plain double dribble that it confused people to call them the same.
The NFHS actually tried to combine the call with the illegal dribble (or traveling depending on the specifics) call a few years ago but it only created confusion.
