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. rflol Charisma To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
