Hi Dark, Well, for those of us using a different synth like Eloquence it can make a big difference when reading messages. For example if you spell puzzle p u z l e instead of p u z z l e Eloquence will prenounce it like poozzle. It almost sounds like poodle, the type of dog, only with a z sound rather than puzzle. That's why I'm sure Charles is making an issue of it. It can be a bit annoying to listen to e-mails with spelling errors as Jaws, Window-Eyes, Orca, and any other screen reader that uses Eloquence will not say the words correctly if they are misspelled like this. That is why I feel some proofreading is good for VI readers as well as sighted readers because you can be assured the synth on your audiences computer will read it correctly.
I guess all I am saying here is it is considered good list etiquette to spell check and proofread what you type so it is more readable. Just because synth a says it correctly doesn't necessarily mean synth b will likewise say it correctly if it is misspelled. Therefore a little effort towards proofreading is considered an act of good list etiquette by some listers.
