Did you know that '...' is the equivalent of trailing off into silence. It is often used to show that you are lost for words, falling asleep, suddenly caught up in a daydream, absent minded or maybe stoned.
Examples:
"I'm not sure what to say..."
"Now where did I put my car keys..."
"Ha! Your puny tranquilliser darts won't... work... on..."
"I wonder what it would be like to win the lottery..."
"Duuude..."
Are you sure you're them correctly? Do you use them when you're not sure whether or not to use a full stop, comma or semi-colon?
Sorry, this just drives me crazy. Dunno why.
