That is to say, a part of the text was "knocked" from the text. The
three-dot mark along the text baseline insicates the place it once was. [fr.
Latin elidire-to knock].

JoAnn illistrates an informal use of ellipsis, to indicate a trailing off or

I'm not JoAnn but

An elipsis... On a drop down menu in most programs, it indicates that
options will be available when on clicks on it.
