Sweet Fucking Nicoffeine people! An Ellipsis is made of only three periods in a row! Not as many as you fucking want in a row. "But Kruxy," they simper, "I put alota periods in, in a row, to notate just how much of a pause I'm looking for when you read what I wrote. See it has alota periods there, that's a long pause, but there there's just two periods that's a short pause. See Kruxy, see what I did." Jesus and Buddha! The denotation of a pause isn't even the purpose of an ellipsis, it has only become used as such in modern language. An Ellipsis is for marking sections of text where words have been omitted. Nothing more. Even Grand Ellipsis-Maestro David Mamet knows this, and he has entire conversations made up of nothing but the elegant ellipsis. If you want some pauses, then preface your grammatically incorrect, peurile little thoughts with the disclaimer: The following awful piece of offal has been peppered with Pinter Pauses. Then whenever you want someone to pause thoughtfully or apprehensively, you insert " Pause. " This will cause people to stop and ponder whether you will speak again, or whether they should answer you. Well, the theatre majors will anyway.
