"..." means ellipsis which is formed of exactly 3 dots. Is is used to show an omission of words in a quote to shorten it without changing its meaning.
For example.
"After college I visited my friend, who lives a few blocks away, and then came home."
After using ellipsis
After college visited my friend … and then came home.
What does "..." mean in a text message
- I will say some people are habitual to end their statement with "..." (3 dots) and we wonder what exactly the person is referring to.
- So I will share different scenario where this pattern is used during text message. As this varies from person to person, I will try to cover all the possibilities where "..." is used in a text message.
- There are many applications or I must say social media platforms where 3 dots mean that the person is typing for a response.
- When we talk about text message "…" after the sentence means hesitation or feel awkward. It's like other person wants to maintain a conversation but he is struggling to find a reply.
- Sometimes it means that the person is upsed with you. If you reply to a person which he didn't liked, he can say "Okay...". Which means the person wants to talk but he didn't liked the reply over his message.
- In literature "..." are used to show a long period of time passing between two events. So the same context is used in text message where "..." is used to pause or slow down the pace of conversation.
- In most of the cases "..." means that the person wants to mention something which has not ended and its in continuation.
- Some people are too lazy to look for ? in their keypad. So they use 3 dots to ask a question.
- Most of the time when we want to share a story but don't want to copy paste the whole stuff, then we share only important details and replace other lines with "..." sign.
