Hi,
I doubt there is anything you can do about this if my guess is right. On my
Mac, I use one of the new voices Tom for the Mail app. Tom missed pronounced
the word just as you described but, when I switched to Alex, the word was
pronounced correctly. So the question is, What voice are you using? BTW, this
pronounciation bug happened with the other new premium American English voices
I have installed too.
