...ellipsis my friend...

The ellipsis is my favorite piece of punctuation.

I am not sure where my fascination with it began, but at some point I just started throwing them around without a care in the world.

But really, what is the point of the 3 little points? Isn't the ellipsis just the typographical equivalent to the verbal stutter - "umm".
