I find the use of an ellipsis to indicate a pause in speech overused. I applaud the use of the ellipsis used correctly to indicate words removed from a quote or similar. Especially if an actual ellipsis character is used, rather than three periods. Editing and teaching have apparently turned me into quite the typography and punctuation pedant!
