Dash_Harber 08/09/17 7:12:34 AM #6:	It is commonly used to indicate a pause when used in the middle of a sentence. It can also indicate someone trailing off or leaving a sentence unfinished when used at the end. The only proper way to use it is in a quote to indicate that you are leaving out a section of that quote and where you are doing so. <cite>Dash_Harber posted [p:884452181] in What does ...

It's used as a pause, or in place of a comma if you're grammatically-challenged As I mentioned, that is not actually technically a proper use.
