The correct way to use an ellipsis is to indicate the omission of words or a pause in speech or thought. It is typically represented by three evenly spaced dots (...) with a space before and after each dot. The ellipsis should be used sparingly and only when necessary to maintain clarity or create a desired effect. It is important to note that the number of dots should always be three, and they should not be used at the beginning or end of a sentence unless it is a deliberate stylistic choice.
