I don't like hearing excess punctuation, like parentheses, quotes,or
colon/semi-colon. I can figure out these from the context of the sentences just
fine.

Subject: Punctuation in JAWS
Hey, gang! I'm developing some WBTs that are being tested for accessibility
using JAWS. What I noticed is that JAWS reads punctuation and I'm curious to
get some different views on this.
Take, for example, the following statement: I never apologize (I'm sorry,
that's just the way I am).
Jaws will read: I never apologize open parens I'm sorry.
My question is, does this take away/add to the user's experience? Is it a
hindrance to hear that, is it superfluous, or do any users benefit from
visualizing the parens? I mean, I know I can always tailor my content to avoid
using excessive punctuation but I'd still like to know how different people
feel about this.
