No, that won't work, since eloquence pronounces sense differently than since, defeating the point of the thing. Makes sense? Sense since? Since sense! There is almost not a difference between sense and cents, although it is still there. -- -- Patrick Perdue (MCP, CNA) KE4DYI Greensboro, NC website: http://www.pdaudio.net home: +1(336)698-4417 Mobile phone and SMS: +1(336)509-5583 e-mail and .net messenger: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> aim: noaptiva For anything related to the yamaha motif line of keyboards and modules, subscribe to the motif-help mailing list by sending a blank message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message originally sent in reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Monday, August 13, 2007 at 4:04 AM EST.

Re: The Talk2 List Eloquence Piss list!
.Hi. It's interesting to note that ESpeak falls for a few of those as well, but most of them are easily told apart, and it uses propper English. Of course with my typing, and no confirmation of what I'm actually backspacing and no way to read this, I'll be making afew screw-ups as well, but not as bad as elocraps.
