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.
