I also use it sometimes for stressing on some point that i am making through the written material or when i want the read to think and pay heed to whatever i am writing...it also showa the points where my7emotions are changing. Maybe this is not the correct usage of ellipse but actually i never took it seriously as a grammatical or punctuation mistake. i will try to minimize my usage of ellipses if i am disrespecting the language in someway or the other... waiting for ur replies... tuhin Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Extended ellipses.......... #152122 12/14/2005 11:38 AM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Quote: Maybe this is not the correct usage of ellipse but actually i never took it seriously as a grammatical or punctuation mistake.
