hello all
i use the extended ellipses only as a means of expressing my thought process in realtime...or...my way of talking to any person under normal circumstances.

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...
