It's kinda natural. It's a pause, like a breath. Think of Marliyn Monroe...lol

"Men are soooooo....Oooo......... let me sing you a birthday song.....Oooo......ohhhhhhhh....Mr. President......."

Is she having an asthma attack?

No, it's not. It's used to indicate missing words in a quotation, or general omission of words.

I believe you're thinking of a comma.

Ellipsis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Ten things you may not know about images on Wikipedia •Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about the punctuation symbol. For the linguistic term, see Elliptical construction and Elliptical clause. For the narrative device, see Ellipsis (narrative device).
Not to be confused with ellipse.
Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from Greek ἔλλειψις 'omission'😉 in printing and writing refers to the row of three full stops (... or . . . ) or asterisks (***) indicating an intentional omission. This punctuation mark is also called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, dot-dot-dot. An ellipsis is sometimes used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence (aposiopesis).

Sometimes, debbie. Not in place of every comma, or even where there's actually no need for any punctuation.

Care for a tea................................?

An ellipsis can indicate a pause in speech, but the way you do it is incorrect.

You don't add additional dots for how long you think the pause is. It's just a standard representation of a pause.

Never been much of a tea drinker.

Shut the **** up.

Live and let live is my motto. Lesbians, Homosexuals, Heterosexuals are all people. Love your neighbor and stop the hate.

Though this doesn't seem to be a complete thought.

I've been told by a reliable source, if I don't think about them;

A sentence contains an noun, a verb, and a complete thought.

The following, "I've been told by a reliable source." is a sentence that can stand on its own. However, you are correct when you say that how he did the sentence is not correct. When you start a phrase with "if" you must complete it with a "then" phrase.

However, Chillmeistergen is one of the last people we should be nitpicking for his grammar and punctuation because he does a pretty, damn-good job. (Notice how I used a comma and a hyphen for the coordinate adjectives and the hyphenated adjective? That was a fairly complicated, and that deserves some serious commendation.)

........................................Exactly.

Only if you think his job was pretty.

If only your mocking that one specific word held any ground...

With an extraneous article adjective in my last sentence, you could have actually had a legitimate "nitpick".

Until next time, enjoy our wild America.
