And as I mentioned in a previous post, but which probably got lost in 
the noise, you can think of "..." as what it notates in English, i.e. 
ellipsis--meaning "something left out". As a previous poster noted, it 
does not map exactly into the English semantics, but as a mnemonic, I 
think it works well.
