HI Jill, If your book was printed in Brittain, apostrophes replace our quotation marks, so, if Kurzweil saw someone talking, and the quotation mark, in this case an apostrophe, were preceded by a comma, you could have what you describe if K1000 perceived that a space occurred before the comma. If the text was justified in the book, as I understand many are, this is possible.

I assumed that was a Kurzweil scanning error. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Parsons" <akp@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mentat3@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 7:12 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] British quotation marks > Hi all, > > Actually, what you should search for are things like the following. > > space apostrophe > apostrophe space > paragraph apostrophe > period apostrophe > comma apostrophe > > > In short all those things that you would use a normal quotation mark > for.
