You are seeing, in most cases, periods. You are trying to use Braille to
correct with.
As much as is possible, you should use computerized Braille to prevent
such confusions.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] dis dis dis
Hi everyone!
Every once in a while in the book I'm proofing, there is "dis" in all
lowercase letters. It is not part of a word, because it doesn't make any
sense when trying to fit it with any word.
One example was a sentence something like,
When I returned to the office I disfound
blah blah, blah, (whatever the rest of the sentence was).
Hey, could "disfound" mean lost? (chuckle)?
Sometimes the dis will be three times in succession as this line that I
just came across:
sure knows her detective novels. I wonder dis dis dis
I'm just curious. Has anyone come across this curious thing? Is there
something about some OCR software that would incert such a thing when it
couldn't recognize characters or could it be junk characters?
It's certainly not a big deal. It's just an odd little thing.
Debby
