Sandy, That’s hilarious. I have not noticed those other issues – just the chicken cooperative.

changing the way VoiceOver says something
Hi, If VoiceOver says an abbreviation I do not want it to say, can I change it? I looked in Pronunciation, but I don't think it will work to change it there. The word is "coop". if it's in the middle of the sentence, it correctly says "coop" as in the place where chickens are kept. However, if the word coop is the last word in a sentence, VoiceOver wants to assume it's the abbreviation for "cooperative".
