It is something which I have not considered before, but it seems a
reasonable assumption that an elipsis would occur before a period. After all,
an
elipsis implies an unfinished sentence, or at least an unfinished thought, and
a period is a signal that the sentence has stopped.

in it." [ in a letter to Thomas Jefferson] John Adams

Hi Everyone!
I know we've had several discussions on this subject and don't wish to open
a Pandora's box again.... However, I'm wondering if there should still be
no
spaces when you have a sentence with a period, plus and ellipsis? I am
proofreading two books that have four periods, (an ellipsis followed by a
period).
Should there be a space after the period? What's confusing is whether the
ellipsis actually occurs before the period or whether it occurs after it.
Hope
that makes sense.
I'm asking because I want to be consistent; and be sure that I and the
Braille translator handle the situation correctly. *smile*
Thank you.
Blessings.
Lynnsky
