Yes! We do use the word "upchuck" in the way you describe.
I have upchucked "thrown u" the button as suggested.
The other day, I must have eaten some menu choices that were not fresh
because I had to leave some "pavement pizza" behind.
Anyway, having unchecked the button, I still find that JAWS
occasionally changes synthesizer voices on the fly, but not as often
but not as often as it did previously.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
