Why do people add ..... to the end of their sentences in business email?

We have a team manager that ends every sentence with a "....." I would like to "coach" him on a better way to communicate as this does not seem to fly well with the team. I'm looking for specifics on how this is viewed and or received to help get the point across.

Your manager is trying to make the e-mails easier to read. What it really does is break up the flow of the message and distracts the reader.





Another problem with this is that it implies the recipients are not literate enough to recognize a simple period that signifies the end of the statement.
Reply:Perhaps he's trying to get the team to think more for themselves and wants you to finish the sentence...
Reply:FIVE dots! That's very assertive ..
Reply:Probably nothing more than a habit. I know people who end questions and statements with "?????" and "! ! ! ! ! !"





Or worse .....people ....who write.... like this.... and use "...." to gather their thoughts. Some dont.Put spaces.Between sentences.





Just ask nicely, "I was just curious, why do you do this?" And show him the "....." .
