I’m going to have to disagree.

This is precisely the same as complaining that people are using a word incorrectly because it now means something different than it did when you were younger.

Language changes. Many words that are rigorously defined in your dictionary did not have that meaning a few hundred years ago and sometimes have a different meaning than what they meant a year ago.

Punctuation travels the same path. Most of us are quite accustomed to seeing an ellipsis used as a pause. It’s been used that way often and long enough that it shouldn’t cause your eyes to hurt anymore than a dangling preposition would.

There is no “right” in language. There is common usage, legal usage, accepted usage and slang… and the ellipsis pause is quite common now. The other usage hasn’t quite passed out of fashion yet, but it’s more rare now and someday…
