And well they might...or perhaps not...however you are still to be welcomed nonetheless...
Why the ellipses? It makes you look pretentious...
...you may envision them to be a sign of pretentiousness...or due to a more legitimate origin...or perhaps merely imagine me to be catching my breath...however I prefer appropriate pauses between ideas...it is perhaps a fault of mine...
Yes, that's what the comma and the period (aka the "full stop") are for.
While I agree that such alternate punctuation serve a purpose, only the good and trusty ellipse allows one to fade out between statements...drifting in and out of traffic, as it were...as a wave rolling in from the sea...to crash and begin anew...
Either that or perhaps you might merely imagine that I may often lose my train of thought midway through a performance...and then recall again what it was that I wished to say...or not...?
