Dear All,

I agree with what you all said about the screen readers.  I use ZoomText
magnifier and screen reader combination and the way my narrator pronounces
it, is really strange.  I guess it is a kin to the different regional
pronunciations in the English language.

>From the way it is printed on the screen - W-H-O-Z-I-T - it looks like it
should be pronounced WHUZIT.  Unfortunately, what you get in ZoomText  is
something that sounds like wusit.

Just a little levity on a Friday!
Have a good weekend!
Judy
