I personally don't see the problem.  Some found a bugg, posted it and thus
varified it.  to keep posting it is certainly malicious.

I opened the default dictionary manager. I hit the add button.
Next, I type the actual word. Then, I put how it's really spelled in the
next edit field. I tab to the OK button and hit it.
I also put in different variations, since any variation of "c a e s u r"
will trigger the crash, not just the mispelling of that word. You'll want to
create entries for the word, plus "ing", "ed", "s", "ings", etc. Put as many
as you can think of. I'm on an IRC server consisting mostly of blind people.
Most of us use JAWS, and Eloquence as the default synthe.  well, some clown
learned that this offending word will knock out our speech program, so he
does it deliberately.  We have dealt with him by canning him and his various
IP's from our server, but where there's one idiot, there's a thousand.

Take care.

Hi.  Could you tell us how you set it up so the offending word does not
crash JAWS for you?  I'd be very interested in making the same
adjustments.  Is this something you can do in Dictionary Manager?

Thanks

actually you're right.
The originator wrote "the following screws up Jaws" then proceeds to
type it
with no spaces, so as not to cause anyone else's JAWS with Eloquence
synthesizer from doing the same, while still showing us the word.
Fortunately, I have come across this evil spelling of the word in other
places, so have made definitions to say it the right way.  This is a
huge
error in Eloquence, and the company who created the synthe either
doesn't
know, or doesn't care to fix it or post how this can be done, other than
to
make dictionary entries to replace the original spelling with a modified
one.

I feel that if anyone else writes that word they should put on the
removal
list because they apparently aren't mature enough and have no empathy
for
anyone else.
