...
The most overused phrase in the Japanese language. Especially common in manga and Final Fantasy games. It can usually be translated as 'wtf'. Other times it can be translated roughly as :"I couldn't think of anything to write here so I'm just going to put these three dots instead." In some cases it is used as shorthand for :"There are no words to describe the (insert adjective here) of this scenario."
Popular usage...urm yeah
Punctuation... series of three dots... indicates the writer trailed off... without completing sentence... or thought... or has no idea how punctuation is used... since most web users are clueless idiots... the ellipsis is the most frequently used form of punctuation... especially favored by teenagers... who similarly avoid the baffling complexities of capitalization... by always using lower case... or upper case... whatever...
"..." is commonly used on Digg.com to mean "I have 5 seconds left and that's not enough time to edit my comment. Fuck you digg. Here's a few dots."
