I apologize…I will attempt to hold more air within…that I need not take as many apparently unnecessary and undesired breaths between words…!

Truthfully, it is a bad habit I acquired due to having a great deal of competing and yet incomplete thoughts…further, each idea has with it a given cadence…it does not appear quite appropriate to merely punctuate it unduly…apparently I appear to have simply lost the means of properly completing a sentence…the alternative has been some fairly wordy attempts, indeed as those here might readily attest…!

Motion denied. I also use ellipsis all the time…check ANY of my posts on the last 20 years or so.

I checked those 5 posts and found no ellipses.

if you look carefully between certain letters…you will see ‘silent ellipsis’…sort of like ‘silent e’ or ‘silent 3’…

its sort of like seeing the fnords…once you do…you can never unsee them

…alas.

…I suppose I could begin the sentences with them, however it simply does not seem the proper route.

…you have no idea how difficult this is for me.

…I simply cannot continue in this vein.

…it is doing violence to my inner voice.
