Ellipses: A three-point reflection

B apparently has an ellipses fetish.  And I question this motive.

Please note the three periods in each of his post titles.  Is he trying to tell us something?  B, speak to us.

Why the ellipses?  Is there something being omitted, and you choose to express this through proper MLA format?  Is this just a mental pause?  Or do you simply like to decorate your sentences with fashionable polka dots?  All are legitimate.  But which is the ultimate truth?

I'd like to take a moment to examine each.

First, the grammatical approach.  The official MLA handbook states that "whence a quip be too extravagant, the source-citer mayeth omit the less important information via three elegant stops."  This is a real quote.  Please do not check the source.  But I suggest that this is not B's reasoning.  What could he possibly be omitting from that Austin Powers' quote that isn't funny enough to be repeated in a post?  Exactly.

Second, a mental pause.  The most likely, and obviously the most correct.  The ellipses denote a true passing of time in speech, so beautifully articulated through three consecutive periods.  This approach relays B's relatability, making him a "speaking author".  So wise. So functional. So real.

Third, fashionable polka dots.  A girl can dream.

B, keep up the good work.  I truly love the ellipses, and it's taken all my feminine power not to use them myself.  And no, that wasn't a menstrual reference.
