Fair enough, I didn't realize that Eloquence caused the difference in
pronunciation.
Beware the grue!

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.

On the occasions when I write something formal I can spellcheck it, but
that
takes far too much time to do every E-mail.
As long as it's readable, what is the difference?
With orphius puzle and puzzle come out the same anyway, which is probably
why i don't correct it as I type, but why does it make such a huge
difference?
Beware the grue!
