Hi Tony,

Definitely. The Dictionary Manager is for these sort of things. From the 
Jaws help files: "The Dictionary Manager lets you change the way JAWS speaks 
words, phrases, abbreviations, or ANSI symbols. If JAWS mispronounces your 
name, for example, you can change the pronunciation with the Dictionary 
Manager...".

Cjheers,
Amro
