[JAWSLite] Re: nit nit nit

Funny enough, although I don't know about this specific dictionary entry, I 
'recently' realised that I can in fact add multi-word entries for some 
people's names and then get the computer to in fact call them by 'nicknames' 
etc., and can also, although I don't have the full licence for the other 
languages, get it to pronounce some people's names in their original 
languages like german etc. etc.

Stay well
