Schizo ellipsis 

A series of dots (...) frequently used in schizoposts, which can help identify such posts. Schizophrenia symptoms include a speech disorder called "looseness of association" that manifests in writing. Schizo ellipses are used by individuals with schizophrenia to link loosely related ideas, convey their thought process while writing, or omit information for an ominous effect.

Schizoposts often feature schizo ellipses and other punctuation errors, as the writer believes the reader already understands their point and doesn't need further explanation. Consequently, schizo ellipses end sentences without forming a question or statement, leaving the reader to "form their own conclusion" and wonder about WTF they just read.
"John couldn't help but notice the schizo ellipsis while reading /x/: 'The government is hiding the truth about aliens... I've seen them with my own eyes... but you wouldn't understand... it's all connected, you know... just wait and see...' It left him both curious and confused about the author's true intentions."

Verbal Ellipsis 

The spoken (unspoken?) equivalent of "..." on instant messenger. This is very similar to being given the "Silent Treatment."
Patty is pissed because I made a joke about her big butt last night. She has been giving me the verbal ellipsis all day.

When someone starts typing an iMessage, but doesn't send it, the recipient sees an ellipsis before it disappears, then nothing.

".............this is an ellipsis."

Ellipsis people, more succintly "ellipsists", are Internet citizens with a distinctive writing style. Whenever and wherever possible, they will abuse and misuse the period key. Despite their apparent liking for this specific form of punctuation, ellipsis people almost never use it correctly, sometimes typing ten or more periods at a time, and often settling for two. Some end almost every single sentence in a text with this favored device.

The reasons for this are unknown. It is speculated that they believe the ellipsis adds an air of mystery or intelligence to their post. This second point can be confusing, as many ellipsis folk are awful spellers, and often unable to make use of even basic logic. It may represent the ellipsist's own speaking style, perhaps reflecting a quiet voice, or a tendency to trail off.

All that can be said for sure, is that it is really fucking annoying.
