"..."

[ChrisZimbo]

Well then that's not an ellipsis. That would be aposiopesis. An ellipsis would be my use of [...] in the above, to show that I've omitted part of your post.

is there anything you dont know ...?

Basically what TheMenace and Sicc said.

The question isn't why people do "..." or type "lol" etc. But rather why people make threads about it hoping to gain some sorta relief or knowledge?

Why do people do it? Because they want to.

peace.

I didnt say the way I used it was an ellipsis. I was just telling him what it was because to me it sounded like he didn't know that it was an actual writing tool.

I do it to indicate that the thought isn't finished, i.e.

I don't know. . . maybe i'll go later.

This means that I didn't finish my thought, i had no idea what to write after that, and instead of waiting to post until I figured it out, I just used the dots instead, lol

 

[MATW95]

I use it because it's supposed to symbolize the dragging of the last word.

EX: Right......

I dunno why I don't just use "Riiiiiight," but yea, there's my explanation.

 

[KAMIKAZI]

Yea....

 

[Rock]

i do it cuz i type it how i wud say it so sometimes i slip the odd "errrm" in lol but rizzle............just chill out bro!

 

[Preach]

like in my OG thread, i once again have to re-state what my original post said. i wasn't asking what the grammatically correct way of using three dots is, i was asking why the fuck people do it and then i was telling people to stop because it's stupid, unneccesary and annoying. i hate you all. your mothers will die.

k.

 

[Prize Gotti]

They try to indicate a break.

Yes, as they are none as periods, they indicate a pause, the more .'s the longer the pause, but as a rule you should on use 3...

 

[Flipmo]

Go fuck yourself Rizzle...
