When someone puts a string of dots between words it means the person is unsure / in doubt. ![Cheesy :D](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xcheesy.gif.pagespeed.ic.KPzuH4J-TG.png)
In academia, I believe that it is common to use the characters (...) to indicate an omission in a quoted sentence, such that the reader will know that things have been omitted in a quotation. The three dots is called an 'ellipsis' and is meant to obscure some other meaning, by omission.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EllipsisUnfortunately, a lot of people seem to think that using ellipsis in a sentence is ok, so as if to indicate sarcasm, by not explaining themselves when first expressing some opinion in a shortened or a poignant way, which I always find annoying as a reader, as I shouldn't have to guess at what their rationale is for any given point of theirs.
Then there are people that like using ellipsis as a pause of sorts. I personally like using .. (two dots) to create this sense of suspence, instead of going full ellipisis with an overwhelming three dots with no brackets (or whatever these are called around this sentence here).
Whenever I quote somebody but don't want to quote the entirely of a sentence, I always with no exception use the academic use of ellipsis, making sure to write (...) at the start, or at the end of a sentence I am quoting. I supposed you could use it right in the middle of a sentence as well.
I guess I am glad that I have the Yamaha HS80M studio speakers myself.

Hopefully I will never get to have the same issue with mine as with the KRK's.
