What's with the ellipses? Always so awkward reading messages from people who always do the ellipses thing.

I think in some cases it is because people are taught that Comma Splicing Is Bad. But imo Ellipse Splicing Is Worse (and should probably be Considered Harmful ;) ). Commas or Em Dashes[0] are better, clearer, and (AFAIK) more grammatically correct.
