Hi Chela and everyone!

Thanks for that detailed article, Chela.

One example answered my question about what I did when encountering an elipsis in the middle of a sentence. This example from the article:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth...a new nation, conceived in liberty..."

is spoken by my sinthesizer, TripleTalk with a pause at the elipsis and then dot a, when the sentence continues, so I have been putting a space before and after the elipsis with the dots close together so that I don't hear the word "dot" spoken because of it being bumped up against the following word.
