Term used to describe three periods that are together (...). In English, the ellipsis is often used as an indication to show any omitted word or other text. You'll often see an ellipsis in file names and commands on a computer to indicate the full filename or command is not being displayed. For example, as seen in the picture, a folder could be named "Computer Hope" but displayed as "Compute..." because the file name column is not wide enough to display the full file name.

I use ellipsis to make a point or to add emphasis....like this.
While it is evident that we have someone who fancies himself some type of grammar policeman/policewoman, I find it hilarious that his/her criticism is never directed at some of the posts from those on the right...who can't even compose a complete sentence.
I guess I will just take that as a compliment, that this particular person waits with baited breath...
for every single one of my posts.
