Understand? Yes I think that I do but I fear that you don’t as in the page you refer to the … is used to indicate left out material in quoted material and, surely, at least some of your ideas and writing most originate from you!

“The ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in the flow of a sentence...”
That’s not you at all! No stop! No pause there! Lol!

Again you are making up as you se fit but its OK… now… that we… know… .


What made me post was the fear that this is a new “thing” on the internet as it, imho, makes debating and arguing much shallower. Luckily it seems to be a local thing.
