I love three little dots rather they join a sentence, make a point. or just for the hell of making three little dots... 😛

For example, letes take your post:
"Anything seemingly insignificant that you see as concerning or unnerving?"

"Anything seemingly insignificant...concerning or unnerving?"
But as far as I'm concerned people can use them how ever they want. I'm certainly not the grammar police.
