Actually, I did a little test myself and Jaws (17) with IE (11) works just fine.
<a href="http://www.google.com"><span>This is Google</span><span> the
search engine</span></a>
Jaws reads "Google the" as separate words, and if ou navigate by arrow
keys in the virtual buffer you see the space.
I wonder if that CSS class is removing white space or something, bt
you also leave white space at the end of your previous span .. This is
a bit of a mystery.
