I'm surprised you got cup on the first one. I usually get first d can. Recently
I read a story where instead of bubblegum someone had bub7um in their mouth.

Hello All.
I have had my BP for about 2 months and am getting a kick out of the way he
pronounces things. For instance, reading a brf file of a cookbook is quite an
adventure. It took me awhile to figure out that first D cup and first b
teaspoon actually meant one forth cup and one half teaspoon. Then I discovered
that some men in novels tend to wear their mistakes on their upper lips. "oh,
Book Port, you mean mustache."
But, the best one i've come across, so far, was in another BRF book. One of
the characters "swung his 347 feet out of bed." Was he a monster? No. It was
just those pesky page numbers, again.
Speech programs. Ya gotta love 'em.
Nancy
