Does he mean like this...  Or like this ...  Either way, I've rarely
seen it with a full stop as well, i.e. four dots.  And when I have it's
naturally jarred.  I've only experience of British English and,
unavoidably, American English though.  Personally, I'd have thought it
should be like this... without a preceding space.

Cheers...


Ralph.
