Do you have am! for am [without the exclamation] in your JAWS dictionary. Press insert+d, and then ctrl-d for the default, and go down the list to look for it. If it's not in default, it might be in the application's dictionary - insert-d.
If you have am [without the exclamationin the .jdf ] delete it from the dictionary by tabbing to the delete button, spacebar, and then over to ok and spacebar. Save with ctrl-s.

I have also noticed that even when reading a web page that JAWS picks up the same punctuation. It seems to always be with a [I am] When I read the word, "am", JAWS says , am exclamation.
