Hi, Cindy. No. In braille and in print, ellipses are used in the same way. It just doesn't look right in braille if the periods are spaced apart, as apparently they are in print, but in braille, they're not. In braille, there is no space between one word, the ellipses and the next word, so you'd right a word...then the next word. Take care.

I think I missed something, although I ususally read ever post despite the subject line in case the post is about someting else. But I don't remember seeing anything about replacing periods with ellipses. Are ellipses Braille for periods at the ends of sentences? Are they also used where ellipses are supposed to be, or is there something else used there?
