    Part 1:
    The ellipsis (“...”) has become a common way to express ourselves—yes, I’m including myself—through pauses and speechlessness, but such usage is completely wrong. There is only one correct way to use ellipses in English that I’m aware of.

    Part 2:
    The correct way to use ellipses is in quotations. Take the sentence: “I am the amazing Anra.” If you wanted to quote me, but only part of the sentence, you’d use an ellipsis: “I am... Anra.”

    Part 3:
    For quotations that encompass more than one sentence, you use an ellipsis with four dots. Example: “I am Anra. Therefore, worship me, for I am amazing.” Could become: “I am Anra.... worship me... I am amazing.” Does this make sense? Let me know if you need more examples.

    That feels when you already know how it works yet still use it the wrong way in normal conversations xD
