"Ellipses" is correctly spelled. It's the plural form of the word.

...I am no longer egotistical enough....to view this as.....a nasty....personal attack.





I know the proper use of ellipsis, but choose to use them in a less conventional fashion. The great mid-centurly poet, Anne Sexton, was very fond of the unconventional use of the ellipsis.





I see the ellipsis as an attempt to present material as I might....on stage.



I am (perhaps) the love-child of Steven Wright and David Sedaris, and neither one of them are screamers in the....Gilbert Gottfried or Sam Kinison modes.





So.....dear Werehamster.....I hope.....that the......bug.....up your.....Emerson.....is removed or exterminated.......soon.





Kisses! (without tongue),

I decided to read your link. . .



An ellipsis is sometimes used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence. Though not technically correct, ellipses are often used in this manner for internet chat, email, and forum posts.



. . . and I've concluded that ellipses are always used correctly on GAB in this sense. Therefore, I amended it. . .

First of all...





Who gives a rusty Frost?



I was always taught by my English teachers that the elipse was a form of a pause, as a breath, or a break in a sentence, or as an ommision where you are inserting only a portion of text, such as a spoken sentence or quoting without including irrelevant parts.



...but I've been waiting for this one...



Frost any of you grammar nazis and your belligerent brute squad tactics to make people who talk differently from you seem inferior.



Nobody speaks with the same vernacular, nuance, inflection, speech pattern or accent. We in America (I can't say, however, for the rest of the English speaking world) are dragging out the pain and agony of teaching our kids that "proper English" has rules that we have to follow, lest we be cast into the pit of stupidity by everyone.



Language isn't new, and neither is someone bitching because you didn't spell tomato with an e. Well, Frost you, you pretentious dickbag, and Frost your 'e'. And while you're at it, Frost your to-mah-to pronunciation of that word. It's to-may-to, or pe-con, or kull-inary.



No one pronunciation, grammar rule or...(gasp!) punctuation is right or wrong in any situation, unless you're some faggy stiff-ass Brit (shed-yule is sked-jewel, you twit), or some Coleridge-munching, ball-licking, no-load, Poe-ass, can't Carroll, tickledick, sphincter poking, dumber-than-a-bag-of-whaleShakespeare Emerson, who can't think, for one second that people are different. And if you can't read or hear some other dialect and understand it (I'm not talking about illegible or volume, if it gets it's point across, then you understand it), just because it's not "proper English"...



GO Frost YOURSELF!

And as far as schooling goes, there is no (as far as I know) other language where you have to take twelve (12!) Frost-ing years in school to learn how to speak, read and write except for English.



How Frost-ing retarded is that? We've made it so difficult to communicate with our language that we have to have every Frost-ing rule beaten into us for twelve years before we're "good enough" to use it in the "real world"?

Or,



You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does -- but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on a shed, nights, and you'll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it's the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it's the sickening grammar they use.

I think he was drunk when he wrote that one though.
