[stylist] punctuation

[Judith Bron]

Typos are usually picked up by jaws.  Sometimes it takes moer than one spell 
check.  I have my punctuation turned on in jaws so I hear any errors 
constantly.  I've found with the spell check they don't pick up missing 
quotes.  I guess for a lot of the errors I depend on my hearing errors and 
correcting the problem.  That is why I liked it when I had errors read at 
the end of a line.  I wish I could give you a real solution, but I can't.
