This is exactly the sort of thing I tell people who want a zillion 
dictionary entries to correct mispronunciations in JAWS. I'd rather that 
screen readers and/or synthesizers make no effort to resolve 
abbreviations. I'm sick of hearing about the Drive Demento Show or Street 
Katharine's, Ontario, or a Canadian domain with a dot California 
extension.
