I did it mainly to bother you. Success!!
Actually I couldn't recall the exact way to space ellipsis so I just threw them into brackets to avoid the internal spacing conflict I was having. I knew that wasn't the correct way to do it and yet it wasn't bothering me enough to look it up. But now that I know how much it peeves you, expect brackets and ellipsis galore!
