Ellipses...i love them. I'm pretty sure that i use them way too often, and at completely the wrong times. I've never claimed to be a good writer. some of you "english major" people probably cringe at my grammar. sorry. oh well. i love them. once i wrote a post about some of my favorite words, well this is my favorite quotation mark...by far. i looked back, and there are 39 blog titles that have ellipses in them. 39! and as you all know, it's not like i blog a lot. 39 out of 109 titles is a pretty good average. my guess is that it's actually in 98% of my blogs...just like a favorite quotation mark should be.
it's perfect for almost any occasion(especially when you use it any way you want to). i feel that it is totally superior to the comma. Commas to me just give a split second of a pause, where ellipses give that real thoughtful, sassy pause. it adds feeling, and can even denote the rolling of my figurative eyes.... Plus if you are Japanese you can even double it at one time......!
So here's to you ellipses...you complete me.
