In defense of ellipses

Ellipsis

Ellip-'ses' in plural.

Dot dot dot...

A pause...

How long?

Longer than a comma, ya freakin' naysaying dislitterates.




Ellipses... they have their place. And I'll metaphorically die on this metaphorical hill.

Let's get one thing straight; I did two semesters at CU before knocking up my ex-wife and graduating elsewhere at twenty-seven. Call me coot all you want... (note ellipsis), just don't call me late for cocktails.

And with good reason, I'm sure.

I mean, let's review:

Colon: Hard stop. As just employed.

Semi-colon; pregnant pause, as in "Brad, I'm pregnant; we have to talk."

Comma, short pause, as in "Yes, Brad, I'm sure it's yours."

Ellipsis... Brad thinking "####... now I gotta get married."




Clear as day fars I can see.
