Dear Madams and Sirs:

You are grown adults. Use one "?" to punctuate a sentence, two if you are truly baffled and are trying to emote. Use ellipses rarely. And for the love of God, spell your own name correctly and with capital letters!

re: they denote pauses

[etherial.livejournal.com]

Only in scriptwriting.

ellipsis
1.
a. The omission of a word or phrase necessary for a complete syntactical construction but not necessary for understanding.
b. An example of such omission.
2. A mark or series of marks ( . . . or * * * , for example) used in writing or printing to indicate an omission, especially of letters or words.

mm, i guess... i use the two fold. one as in previous sentence, to indicate trailing off. another is as a pause in a dialog, usually inside quote marks denotign speech.
