oh my. I'm glad you asked because I thought it was not to be either
preceded or followed by a space, but I just checked my notes and it is to
be followed by a space unless punctuation is after it. I hope my proofing
isn't what caused your book to be returned, Larry, Plwase accept my My
deepest apologies

This was adopted some years ago, can’t recall exactly how many.

Our books are coming back because it now seems the ellipses is not to be
preceeded by a space. Am I senile or did they not say some time back that
the ellipses is to be preceeded and followed by a space except when it is
attached to punctuation.
