Do you know what that word means… here’s a hint… I am extremely guilty of over using them? Any guesses? Of course, you can all google it and find out fast enough, so I will fill you in. Scroll down…
Yep ellipsis is the use of the 3 little dots, they can be used in place of a word but I often use them to imply an unfinished thought, a pause in speech, a sense of longing or just trailing off into silence…
