minus-squareWorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 day agoGdamn it. I use plain ellipsis all the time, and I was worried people would take it the wrong way, and now I’m anxious I might be causing someone anxiety!

minus-squarekreekybonez@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoI always read ellipses as if the speaker is trailing off in a condescending, disappointed, or sarcastic tone. “if you think so…” “that’s a great idea…” “we definitely need more snacks in the house…” It doesn’t make me anxious, but it always seems a little rude.
