Dramatic Ellipsis	comment	In writing, particularly in a... pulp thriller or a comic strip... caption, a... portentous Dramatic Pause is represented by writing in... an ellipsis (...). Sentences may also be... ended with an ellipsis for a tension... building or ominous effect... . This version can be used on the back of... books, a commercial summary of movies of... varying quality, etc. This version could also be used by people who intend to sound... mysterious in a piece of fiction (or intending... to sound like... William Shatner), or by someone who is giving an... important clue while... dying, and is unable to finish the sentence to its vital point... before meeting mister Grim... . ...At times, a sentence can also... begin with an ellipsis to represent... hesitation — or, as mentioned in the beginning, simply a... dramatic pause. Note: Bear in mind that the use of... three dots in an ellipsis is... theoretically invariable: one does should not simply use however many.......................... dots one likes — but.. a lot of people will anyway... . Another Note: An ellipsis does not mark the end of a sentence; rather one should follow it with a space and then the closing punctuation. Like so... ? Yes, like so... ! Or like so... . Four consecutive dots without a space would usually be considered incorrect typology. Yet Another Note: If a trope example is about a pause in spoken dialogue, without any direct reference to an ellipsis, it likely should not go here but rather under Beat, Dramatic Pause, and / or Melodramatic Pause. More Notes: In all technicality, an ellipsis has a space before each period, making the correct form of an ellipsis like this . . . But no-one actually does that... The ellipsis is a separate punctuation mark, or glyph, not just three dots in a row. Some software will automatically replace three dots typed by a user with the glyph, but not all. If the three dots come just before a line break there can be unintended consequences . .. which can be avoided by the use of two non-breaking spaces as well. And One More Note: If it's more than three dots, it's not an ellipsis; it's a dot-leader. Compare... Visible Silence, Beat.

Even milder words like "hell", "damn" and "drunk" are almost-always censored). On every map, the song's lyrics are displayed in the lower left-hand corner. When a line with a censored word appears, the word is replaced with "..." (such as "We don't give a ...") rather than more common forms of text censorship such as asterisks. In the song "Bang Bang" by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, the entire line "Back-back seat of my car" is censored and displayed as "... ... ... ... ... ..."
