Wikipedia is a good source, somehow, but it's based on what people add to it, not always as accurate as it should be. Careful with what you spread. It has much more to do with the omission of a pronoun, subject, verb, article, etc, than the three dots. I recommend a better study on written and spoken discourse analyses. I mean, just so you don't look silly! : ) (It's) completely up to you! Cheers!

Alrighty, no one's ever corrected me on the matter, so I guess I avoided researching it. But I really have much more productive things to do than goof around searching arguable queries! Anyways, I like how your first comment had (...) at the end of it! Haha, would that be irony? I obviously fail at English, it's not quite my best language. =]

Eng. 11 AP told me so.

I'm just spreading the word.

Quoting Wikipedia:

A mark consisting of three periods, historically with spaces in between, before, and after them ( . . . ), nowadays a single character (), used in printing to indicate an omission; The omission of a grammatically required word or phrase that can be implied

great stuff man. right up my alley. I have to admit, I've been known to use the two-dots method. you totally called me out on it, that cracked me up. "we all know you mean three dots"  - classic lines like that make a memorable syntactic analysis, i look forward to seeing more.
