These are good examples. I suppose I should have clarified that I’m used to seeing ellipsis in literature, but not in interpersonal communication.

I suppose that’s what threw me off. It just doesn’t feel like a natural way to communicate.

That’s interesting. Adding a space before the exclamation mark would just make me think it’s a typo and not an intentional punctuation choice.

And the the use of the ellipsis is something I’ve recently seen in some work correspondence, and to me it came off as sarcastic, not ominous. Which was strange as the sender is usually very polite. So this makes a lot more sense if it’s a generational thing.

I still don’t understand it though. If not sarcasm, ominous ending, or an interruption, what does an ellipsis signify and why not just use a period?

Well, this couldn’t possibly go wrong.

Exactly!

“So, sorry <insert Super PAC here> we’d love to help you astroturf the EU elections, but those pesky laws are stopping us.”

It is, but I believe it’s performing double duty as both an apostrophe and ending the single quotation mark. I’m not an expert though. Just a guess :)

The single quotation marks around Brokeback Mountain and Crash are to indicate they’re titles of a movie.

Same! I love my Kalita. Pour over is dead simple. Just wish I could boil water faster.

You can do that with GrapheneOS.
