No roger. There’s no space before the ellipsis and a space af
Ter unless it is followed by punctuation.

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

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.
