Answer 9

It's called an ellipsis, and it means that something has been left out. So if you're quoting someone, and it's a long sentence and you want to leave part of it out, you use the 3 dots to indicate that. That's the official way. In email and other casual use it can represent a pause, or "I don't have anything to say right now," or almost any other absence of communication.
