Hi Lori,
Oh, you can't be expected to know everything! I certainly still don't! And
I had no idea for a long time that when I typed three periods that they were
being changed. We all do our best, and that has to be enough. I cringe
knowing how awful some of my first books must look compared to what I know
how to do now. But it's how we learn here.
It's really okay. You do a great job!
Mayrie

Thanks, everyone, for your help.
It took a lot of tries, but I got it to work.
I may have submitted books with incorrect ellipses, and I feel very sorry
about that. I have made an effort in all books to put spaces around the
three periods when necessary and to know they still may be wrong in past
books really angers me.
I am a very conscientious proofreader, but sometimes feel I can't keep up
with everything.
Lori C.
