Hello there: If you would like the words "resist", "resisted", "resisting", "resistive" given more emphasis, by having JAWS speak the letters "r" and "e" as "re", Do the following: 1. Press INSERT/JAWS KEY+D to Open the JAWS Dictionary Manager. 2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the Default dictionary file. 3. Press ENTER to open the "Add..." dialogue. 4. In the Actual Word edit field, type "r e s i s t i v e", without the quotes and the spaces between each letter. 5. In the Replacement Word edit field, type "r e z i s t i v e", without the quotes and the spaces between each letter. 6. Press ENTER to close the dialog. 7. Repeat the steps 3 to 6 to add "resist", "resisted", "resisting", to the Default dictionary file. 8. When you have finished adding entries to any Dictionary file, you must press CTRL+S to save any changes, before using ALT+F4 to exit the JAWS Dictionary Manager. With the letter "z" replacing the first letter "s", JAWS should say the words as: "rezist", "resisted", "rezisting", "rezistive".

I'm not an English person that's why I'm asking this question. Is this "resistive" word spelled correctly; pronounced correctly? Or does JAWS really speak the correct pronunciation for this word?
