Lazy ellipsis

The triple-dotted connector used in the middle of quotations when the writer is too lazy to quote the entire sentence or phrase.

Lazy ellipsis "abc ... efg"

The inhumane and almost desperate nature of Lady Macbeth's ambitions were revealed in Act 1 Scene 5, where she asked "spirits that tend on mortal thoughts" to"Unsex her here ... fill her head to toe with direst cruelty".

In the concluding sentences of The Great Gatsby, it could be argued that Fitzgerald suggests we should embrace ambition and hope as part of our humanity, even as "we beat on ... borne back ceaselessly into the past".

Ellipsis Sine Wave

An Ellipsis Sine Wave is a Sine Wave that is not fully connected; Ellipsis Sine Waves are also considered "Dotted Sine Waves" or "Dashed Sine Waves" they're like dotted lines except that it goes in a similar pattern as a sine wave. Real Ellipsis Sine Waves start large and then slowly decline exponentially slowing down. If you to the end of an infinitely large sine wave, at the end it would no longer be an Ellipsis Sine Wave.

In class, I drew an ellipsis sine wave so I wouldn't mistake it for the sine waves I had to solve for my homework.

Sadness ellipsis

A Sadness ellipsis is when you go into deep thought about something and you get sad. Like when you are talking to a girl you like and she talks about her boyfriend. Like the grammatical ellipsis, it can indicate a thought that makes you unfocused. Or, it can be used grammatically like a normal ellipsis just to emphasize something sad.

1. This girl just told me she has a boyfriend and I’ve only thought about that since. I hate Sadness ellipsis.
2. And you receive… a dent on your new car!!!!!

Implicit ellipsis

I know it's a bit redundant to phrase it like this but you'll see what I mean when I explain...

Hym "So, conservative pundits like to do this a lot but it's not just them. They like to use implicit ellipsis. So... When they say 'The woke leftist are grooming kids...' 👈 There is and ellipsis there. BUT it's spoken. So, obviously you can't SEE the ellipsis. The ellipsis is implicit. And what it means is that there is something that they are omitting from the sentence. That's what an 'ellipsis' means. So the FULL sentence is 'They are grooming kids... to believe that sex and gender are separate and that 'gender' is socially constructed and relates to gender roles. In the same way that a catholic is grooming kids to believe that an ontologically real reality monster has at some point interacted with humanity and arbitrated morality, there is no morality beyond this arbitration, and that failure to adhere to this morality deserves punishment... Unless I do it... In which case, me and the reality monster are cool and it will forgive me... Because I've been pre-forgiven' So, that's the trick. Be aware of implicit ellipsis in speech."
