#Ellipsis

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

For the life of me, I can never remember what "..." is called. Dot dot dot, my brain immediately jumps to ampersand. That's wrong. I know it's an ellipsis, but I have to stop and think about it for a second every single time.

The sun has yet to rise when he reaches the safe house.

No welcome, no debrief, their news, more pertinent.

“We couldn’t reach you, there was an attack on a muggle train, Lily—”

She was supposed to be safe.

It’s been too long; this war, life without her.

The day wakes, but she doesn’t.

In the makeshift infirmary, curled on her side in bed, red hair splayed over the pillow.

In slumber, her voice, a whispered plea, ‘I need him, don’t let the morning take him.’

His heart thunders, aches.

Sirius sits at her bedside, “They’re stable.”

“They?”

“She’s pregnant...”

23. Indulging in hobbies

-

“Your WHAT?”

Peter looks aghast.

James hadn’t planned to blurt it out like that, but now that they know, a weight lifts from his shoulders, and a wide grin spreads across his face.

Wrapping an arm around Lily, “My wife.”

Sirius barks out a laugh, joining them with Harry sitting on his hip,

“That’s two, watch, this’ll be his new hobby, you remember the phase where he introduced her as his girlfriends that went on for ages..."

The shock wipes from Remus’ face, morphing into something that looks like relief.

“All things considered; I suppose we should let him indulge.”

❓Do You Know How to Use ... an Ellipsis?

This is a topic that people think they know . . . until they have to actually put it into practice.

As an introduction, the “dot-dot-dot” (. . .) is known as an ellipsis. It is used primarily . . .

to omit certain words or phrases from a quotation or citation

to indicate a pause or break in the writer’s train of thought 👩‍💻💭

If you are using the ellipsis to omit words from the original sentence, make sure that you don’t change the meaning of the original sentence. For example,

In the following, we can see that in the correct usage, the original meaning of the sentence remains intact, whereas in the incorrect usage, the original meaning has warped into something sinister and pervy.

When it comes to using an ellipsis to indicate a pause or break in the writer’s thought, just don’t overdo it:

Extra facts:

The plural of “ellipsis” is ellipses.

If an ellipsis ends a sentence, put an extra period at the end, i.e., four periods. (For example, “This is the end, for now ….”
