It has been brought to my attention, that some people are not familiar with ending sentences with "...". Through my many years on the internet (all of a whomping 2), I have grown lax with my punctuations. My mother says the "..." are referred to as ellipsis dots. They are used to show omissions or incomplete thoughts. The latter is what I do. Although, technically speaking, you are supposed to stick a space in-between every dot. Alas, I do not.. To clarify the theory of incomplete thoughts, I use them when I'm just trailing off. Maybe when I'm not entirely sure where a period or comma should go..or sometimes I just trail off. I will continue later..
