Hi Charisma!

Yep, it seems that you have got the ellipsis thing.  Just treat it like a
word. 

You're not a doofus!

The weird pronunciation can be accounted for by lots of things.  Mostly the
idiotsyncrocies of each different player.  Some stuff we just have to put up
with when listening.  Sorry!

Happy proofreading.

The examples I provided for the ellipsis should help you to decide what to
do with them if you have questions.  Maybe save that bit of information
somewhere you can access it if you forget.  I have lots and lots and lots of
saved tidbits from this list!

Mayrie--I love you.   lol

So if it is just an ellipses it is word, space, eliipsis, space, word.
But if it is an ellipsis next to  punctuation such as a quotation mark, it
is quote, ellipsis space word

Right?

BUT if it is next to a period, put the period alone where it belongs, adn
the ellipsis separate.

Sorry I am a doofus.

See, Doug was trying to explain all of this to me, and I was not doubting
him but more asking if folks who listen (as opposed to reading Braille) have
the same weirdo pronounced "dot dot dot"
problems, or have the or missing apostrophe problems.

But, as you can see, I AM still confused about how EXACTLY to space these
dang ellipses. Note to self: never scan or proof a book with ellipses again.
