  Ellipsis are wrongly used again. Why do you people keep using shit you do not understand?

    Typesetter here. How are you doing?

    As it happens, you can use an ellipsis to indicate a thought that has trailed off. It is standard usage.

    Also, in reference to your comment, you say “Ellipsis are wrongly used again”.

    Ellipsis is the singular form, meaning you have an error there.

    You can say, “ellipsis is wrongly used…”

    Or you can say, “ellipses are wrongly used…”

    The choice is yours.

    I used it to indicate my trailing thought. I had more written, but cut it off.

    Also, no one cares about your grammar policing and it contributes nothing to the conversation
