This is not a valid emote a character should make, that is all.

Pidgy, did you try searching the forums? There has been a lot of threads about this in the past.

Yes, it is a valid emote. An ellipsis conveys that, for however brief a moment, the character using it is speechless. Another emote could be used, and indeed, is preferred by many, but an ellipsis is not without its uses.

Not immediately understanding the application of a thing does not mean that thing has no application.

Quote:

Ellipsis (plural ellipses; or "three little points of suspension"; from the Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission") is a mark or series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word in the original text. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought, or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence (aposiopesis) (apostrophe and ellipsis mixed). When placed at the end of a sentence, the ellipsis can also inspire a feeling of melancholy longing. The ellipsis calls for a slight pause in speech.

The most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full stops (...) or pre-composed triple-dot glyph (…). The usage of the em dash (—) can overlap the usage of the ellipsis.

The triple-dot punctuation mark is also called a suspension point, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, dot-dot-dot.
