<p>Hey,
In my AP Language & Composition class, I need to do a presentation on ellipses (...) to teach the class about them. I need some type of example (like a poem or story) that incorporates a great deal of these. Also, can ellipses be used for emphasis, rather than to explicitly express an omission of words? Thanks.</p>
<p>Elipses indicate omissions. Even here on CC, some people constantly misuse them in place of simple periods and commas - making the sentences painful to read. </p>
<p>Eg:</p>

<p>Any omission? The definitions are so diverse on the Internet. I understand that they indicate omissions from a sentence, but how else are they specifically used? If "..." is used for emphasis, is that still defined as ellipses?</p>
