Dear Some Writers,
An ellipsis is comprised of 3 dots, not 4 and certainly not 9.

Alphabet City 
Ummm … I never thought about lots of dots in sentences before. I am probably breaking all sorts of rules with dots.
🙂 🙂 Some writers add more dots to their ellipses thinking it signifies a longer lapse in thought.
OK. I get it.
Lol…….. guilty as charged! 😄 I love dots.
I used to too! —CC 🙂 Now I like dashes.
Yes – dashes are even better than dots! Like Emily Dickinson. 😊
Hmm…check this out – if you would… https://dickinsondashproject.weebly.com/dashes-in-poetry.html
🙂
I’m sorry for not responding to this sooner! Thanks so much for the link. I did indeed take a look last month (where’d the time go?) and found it most interesting! Emily had her own subtle meanings in her use of dashes.
No apologies! Real life occurs outside of these pages. Be healthy, Betty. —CC
