I had heard much of Alex so when I was wandering through settings/voices last
night and came upon the option to invite him into my humble iPhone, I did so!
To say that I was, distinctly underwhelmed would not be overstating the case!
I want to give him the "bum's rush", but now that he has his boots under the
table, he doesn't seem to be inclined to leave without a struggle.

Subject: Re: Cooking with terabytes
Indeed, my wife was reading a book the other day, in which one of the
characters ended up dying of terabytes.
To follow all the political excitement in Australia last week, I was listening
to a station in Sydney called 2 G B, which default Daniel, my voice of choice,
called 2 Gigabytes.
I also find Alex spells out a lot of things, such as email addresses and
Twitter IDs. It also seems to mispronounce more than most voices, so I give
Alex a miss.

Good old Alex has discovered a new cooking term. Did you know that when
you're making short ribs in the slow cooker, you need to add one and a half
terabytes of balsamic vinegar? When, when, will the folks who make the speech
synthesizers stop trying to guess what abbreviations mean and leave it up to
us, the human readers with the smarts, to figure it out for ourselves?
