an ellipsis
the most common form of an ellipsis is a row of three periods or full points (...) or a precomposed triple-dot glyph (…). the usage of the em dash (—) can overlap the usage of the ellipsis, especially in dialogue. style guides often have their own rules governing the use of ellipses. for example, "the chicago manual of style" ("chicago" style) recommends that an ellipsis be formed by typing three periods, each with a space on both sides ( . . . ), while the "associated press stylebook" ("ap" style) puts the dots together, but retains a space before and after the group.

the three periods





























the three periods is a quebec sovereigntist strategy. before the 1993 federal election in canada, parti québécois (pq) leader jacques parizeau evoked a strategy for attainment of quebec independence called the three periods. the strategy is partly inspired by the three periods of play in ice hockey (the most popular sport in quebec). it is seen as a typical parizeau concept: dedicated and straightforward, especially compared to some sovereigntist attitudes like a few (not all) of rené lévesque's (specifically in the last years of his government) or to the "étapisme" or "step-by-step" strategy.
