Actually, if there is a missing space between words, it creates one long 
word. If the whole word won't fit on the current string then the whole word 
would be moved to the next string and the missing space would be obvious. 
Remember that words are never split between braille strings; if they were 
you'd have things like "first" turning into "from still" or even "my" 
turning into "more you." Because there's a space preceding the last word you 
know there's a space following it.
