[stylist] On Jaws pronunciation

Tue Jan 4 03:15:20 UTC 2011

Damari. Damary sounds like it ought have Eric in front of it from 
Freedom Scientific haha. Regarding Jaws and pronunciations, you can 
make it pronounce any word as you like. For instance my last name 
Dunse is hacked up by Jaws as if I ought have a  tall cone hat on, 
and sit in the corner  of the room lol, but it is really pronounced 
Dunzey so feel free to try the Jaws Dictionary on that word haha.
