Harvey:
You are not the first one nor are you the only one to be annoyed by this
behavior. As you might imagine, this has come up many times before. I, too,
have had to deal with this annoyance on occasion. However, these annoyances
are caused by the way the Double Talk chip is programmed. Unfortunately,
because of licensing, we cannot make changes to this behavior.

On the whole, I'm happy with Book Port. But it has one or two irritating
habits which I would like to correct. Who, in the name of all that's
wonderful, taught Book Port to say "dried" when it comes across the common
abbreviation for "doctor", Dr.? It must have been somebody who only reads
cook books!
Further, should St. really be "Street" instead of the more commonly
encountered "Saint"? And why can't it say "comfortable" instead of
"comfrotable"?
Now, is there some secret way by which I can re-educate this misguided
child, as I can, say, with my Braille n Speak?
