Neigh, rather, I loved it. It encapsulates a lot (not all) of what I've been saying about the subject for years.
I see some of the cause of those "nuances" as a matter of convenience in "typing" with a forefinger on them eensy-bitsy "keyboards" on cell phones and the like. Same thing as with the use of acronyms --a matter of convenience, like the "Q" signals and other shorthand devices of Morse Code, where each character must be clicked out. Example: "R R R" for "received," "QTH" for "location."
But unfortunately, it seems to me that a lot of the motivation for originating neologisms is borne of the "I'm smarter than you," syndrome, where one tries to be "cool" or "with it" by inventing some catchword nobdy else, like, knows about.
The ellipsis thing? Yeah, an ellipsis can be used in the sense of "I could say more about that effhead, but I won't," as well as in the sense of just "I could say more."
One problem is (to me) that the latter-day amateur lexicographers find one misuse of a phrase or word, then list it in their "dictionaries," thereby enhancing its validity in that use and blurring its precision. I'm still waiting for "breech" to show up as "breach" in one of those "dictionaries."
Yeah, "gun" used to be "gonne," and I recognize shifting spellings and meanings over time, e.g., "hoist by his own petard," but latter-day lexicographers ought to be more cautious about what they accept in their lexicon...
