Ellipsis


An ellipsis proves to be a handy device when you're quoting material and when you want to omit some words. The ellipsis consists of three evenly spaced dots (periods) with spaces between the ellipsis and surrounding letters or other marks.

Examples:
The ceremony honored twelve brilliant athletes … visiting the U.S.”
Juan thought and thought … and then thought some more.”
"I'm wondering …" Juan said, bemused.”
