Schizo ellipsis

A series of dots (...) frequently used in schizoposts, which can help identify such posts. Schizophrenia symptoms include a speech disorder called "looseness of association" that manifests in writing. Schizo ellipses are used by individuals with schizophrenia to link loosely related ideas, convey their thought process while writing, or omit information for an ominous effect.

Schizoposts often feature schizo ellipses and other punctuation errors, as the writer believes the reader already understands their point and doesn't need further explanation. Consequently, schizo ellipses end sentences without forming a question or statement, leaving the reader to "form their own conclusion" and wonder about WTF they just read.

"John couldn't help but notice the schizo ellipsis while reading /x/: 'The government is hiding the truth about aliens... I've seen them with my own eyes... but you wouldn't understand... it's all connected, you know... just wait and see...' It left him both curious and confused about the author's true intentions."
