Yes, I would imagine that would possibly make a difference as Daniel's accent
is also different. Or maybe Alex is supposed to be smarter than Daniel!

Interestingly, using Daniel, they both sound the same!

Well, I am mainly joking but try this and see what I mean. Type
refreshabraille without a capital and then type Refreshabraille with a
capital on the R. I did it with a capital in an email and then spent quite a
bit of time, due to the pronunciation, trying to figure out if i had typed
something wrong! In fact, I bet some of you thought I had spelled it wrong
when you heard it. But if you put quotes around it, even with a capital, the
pronunciation is normal.

Then there's autocorrection. If you have autocorrection on, be very careful!
Try typing brltty, b r l t t y,.. It will probably end up as bratty (you
know - like somebody being a spoiled brat - and that's how it will go out
unless you fix it and get your fix to stick! I am sure that most of the time
pronunciation and autocorrection do really clever things, but these are
hilariously funny examples and I imagine there are plenty more. Just for
your entertainment!
