Hi,

$ echo \"{Those, words, are, quoted}\"
"{Those, words, are, quoted}"

I have a space after ,

echo \"{Those,words,are,quoted}\"
"Those" "words" "are" "quoted"

As far as I understand, since you are escaping the double quotes, brace
expansion happens in the second case. Whereas in the first case the
whole string is being echoed as is.

Just wonder why the space there changed things,

I believe its the brace expansion syntax. See the "Brace Expansion"
section in `man bash`.

Thanks with best regards,

Hope this helps.

I started to understand now. The output is different things.

Thanks,
