[quote=@Vilageidiotx] They need ellipsis experts to study the linguistic style of William Shatner. [/quote] Those are pauses. Example of ellipsis: "Did you go to the store?" "Yes I did [go to the store]" You can delete all the words in the brackets even though that is technically what you're saying. Another example: "I did my homework and studied for the test, but he didn't." You can fill in what comes after 'didn't'
