Sweet baby jesus in lucite, then you go and defile it! The ellipsis is three (3) dots, not 4 (except when the ellipsis is used in place of omitted words at the end of a sentence, or the beginning of a sentence following another, where in both cases a period is also employed), not 5, not 17. It is not comprised of commas, or any other string or combination of punctuation marks. Some other liberties with ellipses I can tolerate (proper grammatical usage, even - see above), but do not alter the beauty of its simple form. I beg of thee.
