Those include the use of ellipses — punctuation indicating that information has been deleted for clarity or other reasons

Ellipses may also be used to show a pause or a change in thought. They don't necessarily represent a "deletion," but I'm sure that CNN will spend hours debating ellipses today, and wonder about "what other treasonous words did Trump say...only to have his stenographer delete them? Hmmmm."

I wonder if "stenographers" are still using the symbols of "stenography" instead of english letters, and if so, if some of those remained in the transcript?

And then I wonder if anybody in the "media" knows what stenography symbols look like?
