What is John Glass's returning of Sophie's World and the comments with it
supposed to mean?
I do not understand these silly cryptic comments.

That's because the one JAWS inserts is a special character, not exactly the three periods, although I guess it looks like three periods. Unless Jake has removed that one, the tips section says that they should be substituted with the three periods, just as the close and open quotes, and a few other special symbols in the alt-three digit range.

Dear Kellie,
This discussion on the ellipsis has been fun and informative. I was writing it wrong with no space before or after it. I'm very glad to know how to write it correctly as it's currently my favorite punctuation mark. My favorites in descending order are

Oh, yes, and I love throwing in *, asterisk, when ever I can though I have no idea what it's for. I just love picturing text sprinkled with stars.
Here's an interesting thing about the ellipsis. If I write three periods followed by a space, jaws says dot dot dot. If I press insert 4 and e until I here, "ellipsis," and press enter, the computer makes 3 dots but jaws calls it, "ellipsis."
I can't even imagine how I approached a computer before learning about the insert 4. I use it constantly! It always reminds me of this list at its best where help is given instead of criticism.
Always with love,
Lissi

Yes for sure to the fourth period. I think when an ellipsis appears between sentences there is a space on either side. I thought there was no space before them when they're within a sentence, but could definitely be wrong on that. I once asked an art director with a perfectionism complex how they should be written, and even he thought it was too insignificant to matter. But this is the asylum for deranged perfectionists, where nothing is small enough not to matter. <big grin> Kellie
