Ellipsis can actually mean a couple different things.
How to use
An ellipsis ( … ) is a punctuation mark used to indicate that words have been omitted or that a sentence is incomplete. Here are some ways to use an ellipsis:
Omit words
Use an ellipsis to remove extra or unnecessary words from a quotation, for example. “The space station has a cracked window and if you open it, it is very dangerous” could become “The space station has a cracked window… it is very dangerous”.
Incomplete sentence
Use an ellipsis to show that a sentence has been left unfinished. For example, “If your grown-ups ask you if you have tidied your room, you might reply, “Well I was going to…””.
Create suspense
Use an ellipsis to add a pause before the end of a sentence to create suspense. For example, “The hero saved the day, for now…”.
Trailing off
Use an ellipsis to indicate that a person is pausing dramatically, started to mumble, or their sentence trailed off. For example, “The old huntress looked at me and said, “Lots of people think they can hunt werewolves. When they finally find one …” She never finished that sentence, but she didn’t need to”.
It also often implies that what needs to be said is so obvious to the writer that it should be obvious to the reader, too. This can backfire badly – at worst, it can appear smug or condescending.
None of the above words are my own.
You appear to have a very learned mind, Albi (is it okay to use that nickname?). Sometimes, what appears to you to be perfectly obvious, may not be so to others. For example, I’m not sure if many, possibly any, understood where you were going when you said, "… the first American state to join a voyeur website… "
Possibly because for the vast majority of people it’s still not possible to read minds. Also, maybe because there was no other context to go on, since, as Alek said, Phoenix is not a state. I think that made it confusing.
But, I think we would all like to know what you did mean by that statement. I know I would.
