Can we please watch our language?

Makes since, what I want to know is can VO read just a article on a web
page? If it is sometimes then that is not good enough, if we have to
send it to Textedit that is not good either, if we have to do multiple
keystrokes to make it pretend to work that isn't a good solution. I use
this feature all the time and in Tiger and Leopard it sucks.

Say all from cursor point means something slightly different than
what's name implies. On the web, this is more apparent. Vo cannot
automatically go some places. Mail is text. Web pages are made up of
many things that chop up the text. If you have a web page that is
streight text like the linux guide, it works like it does in mail.

OK then why does it work in e-mails such as this one but not in
Safari? It reads the whole durn page.

VO A is read from cursor to end and VO shift W is read entire
window.

I was doing some thinking and most people say that the say all
command is VO A. In theory this is correct, but if it is echoing
the window that VO has focus on then it is safe to assume that on a
web page that it will read the whole thing. I almost bet that if
you have a command that reads from the cursor to the end of text
that it will solve this problem. Does anyone know of such a
keystroke?
