[QUOTE="ISFriendly, post: 738051, member: 10974"] [B]Ellipsis[/B] (plural [B]ellipses[/B]; from the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language"]Greek[/URL]: ἔλλειψις, [I]élleipsis[/I], "omission") is a mark or series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word in the original text. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought, or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aposiopesis"]aposiopesis[/URL]) (apostrophe and ellipsis mixed). When placed at the end of a sentence, the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing. The ellipsis calls for a slight pause in speech. The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (...) or pre-composed triple-dot glyph (…). The usage of the em dash (—) can overlap the usage of ellipsis. The triple-dot punctuation mark is also called a [B]suspension point[/B], [B]points of ellipsis[/B], [B]periods of ellipsis[/B], or [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloquialism"]colloquially[/URL], [B]dot-dot-dot[/B].
