What's the big deal...

If you've seen one ellipsis, you've seen them all.

Ya gotta work a bit on your empathy there. I think it’s pretty clear that the ellipsis is something more than just an ellipsis to them.
Randall Munroe's partner was diagnosed with cancer a while (10+ years) and there has been several comics and blogs about it over the years.

This ellipsis to him is something perhaps he didn't think he'd be doing with his partner.

This I think is a really good comic - https://xkcd.com/931/

Why is everyone saying ellipsis instead of eclipse?
Something blocked the view of the right word.
The last image in that comic is burned in my memory. Incredibly powerful
