Three periods are an accepted method of indicating a pause.

Been doing it since the early 80's, I see it more along the lines of a

The ellipsis has been around for a zillion years. I'm amused that you are
claiming it as some kind of "trademark". And for the record, I think I
first used it sometime in the 1960s. Expect a threatening letter from my
lawyer....


You used 4 periods rather than 3, so your claim is invalid! :-)
