Welcome to the list, Tom,
It's the first time I've seen your name on here. It's nice to have you with
us. The following paragraph is a little trivia I want to share. I'm no
expert, but this is what I remember. But I know everybody makes mistakes,
and that's one reason whywe need the Lord. I don't mean to put anybody
down. No, Dots 2, 3, 6 is not was. It's his. And, yes, it is the question
mark and the opening quotation mark. Was is dots 3, 5 and 6. It is also
used for the word by when it's close to another word, and it's used as the
closed quote. I hope I set you straight.
