I believe both the bold definitions are identical.

Please correct the given text:

I believe both the bold definitions are identical. I haven't seen any such use of ellipsis as described in the bold parts except the usage where omission of words is indicated. Can you, please, provide me with some examples of this use?

I don't think the two commas are needed. Do you agree with me?

Sometimes what choice of words/punctuation an author uses in certain expressions is completely at his discretion. This means if I ever say the sentence in real life I would like to take a little pause before and after please. I don't think I'm flouting any of the grammar rules by doing this.

Do you agree, Y. Liat?

Best wishes,

Hi,
I agree that it's a subjective thing. The two commas make the sentence qute a bit more plaintive in tone.
More often, they would not be used.

Best wishes, Clive
