what does "....." mean

CRASHMAN · 12-04-2002, 04:00 PM

like that bugs me what does it mean when a peron puts "...." after somethin

examples:

thats cool.....
ya......
i love you.....

just wondering

I know when I do the '......' thingy it is for spacing effect. It gives the reader more of a pause and draws it out more. But I usually have something to write after that, I don't finish off a sentence with those.

Not sure if that's how every one feels.

it can be used as a pause, as irontime said, or it's used to indicate that there was either more before or after a quote.

e.g. IronMagazine is a great site, I come here everyday.

"...I come here everyday."

so, if I was just wanting to quote that you said you come here everyday the ... indicates that there was more to the sentence and I did not include it in the quote.

or

"IronMagazine is a great site..."

you get the picture.
