Ellipses
[Paige] (chuckles) So in this video we're gonna talk about a piece of punctuation called the ellipsis or ellipses in the plural form as we have here.발음듣기
[David] So an ellipsis is a punctuation mark that is actually made up of three periods with spaces in between them, boop, boop, boop.발음듣기
[Paige] Right, so that ellipsis in the middle shows that you're pausing when you're speaking.발음듣기
So like, there's a lot of reasons why you might pause in your speech, you might be hesitating or thinking or just whatever the case may be, you can use an ellipsis to show that you're pausing.발음듣기
[David] Right. Uh, and usage number two for the ellipsis is that it shows that a portion of quoted material has been taken out.발음듣기
[David] So we have here, Paige, you have chosen a quote from the renowned wizard and orator, Albus Dumbledore, and he says, "Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic."발음듣기
[Paige] Yeah, I don't have a lot of space on this screen, so I don't want to write that whole thing.발음듣기
So, if I quote someone and I just sort of willy-nilly take words out without indicating that I've taken some information out of the quote, I can make it seem like someone said something totally different to what they actually said, right?발음듣기
So this shows that this isn't exactly what Albus Dumbledore said, but it's the point that I want to get across with my quote.발음듣기
[David] So how do we like accurately reproduce someone's words without misrepresenting them?발음듣기
[David] But that you're calling out the fact that you've cut out pieces, so that people don't necessarily get the wrong idea.발음듣기
You know, you could use it in, you know, technically wherever you want when you're quoting someone if you wanna take something out.발음듣기
But if you use it over and over or in the wrong places, you can still misrepresent what a person was saying.발음듣기
[David] If you didn't use ellipses, you could just render that however you please, because those were words that were said approximately in that order, right.발음듣기
[David] So you have this responsibility with ellipses to do the right thing, to really represent the way that somebody speaks accurately.발음듣기
[David] Let's talk about the end of someone's sentence and I want to indicate that at some point after I cut off the end of the sentence, the sentence ends.발음듣기
[David] So let's say our sentence is something like, "I like cheese, although I'm more partial to a Wensleydale than I am to a cheddar or a Stilton."발음듣기
You might want to just be able to write that sentence as, I like cheese, ellipsis, period, right?발음듣기
That ellipsis there is showing that stuff has been removed, right, from this quote, and then that final period is showing that it's the end of a sentence, just like it normally does.발음듣기
'Cause like, the ellipsis, you know, looks just like three periods, but it is it's own thing, and doesn't stand in as a period.발음듣기
[David] So that's what, so if we didn't have that final period, it would just sort of look like you were trailing off like there was a pause. I like cheese.발음듣기
[David] Right. But those are the two functions of ellipses, then, is that it indicates a pause in speech, like, "Hello...Paige."발음듣기
