Hi, Sandy. I don't think that the chuckle has worn off with all due
respect. I do understand what you are trying to say, however. I think of
those two particular mispronunciations because they stand out. The
synthesizer I use with Window-eyes mispronounces your last named as licked
and I recall you told us how your last name is pronounced. In other words,
what I am saying is that I can live with the mispronunciation of certain
words.
Mike
