   @devinprater @Pipistrelle Screen reader dictionaries are fantastically theraputic. I've used mine to correct the pronunciation of places who's politics I disapprove of to add the word, stan, at the end, and labelled groups whom I find utterly irrational by replacing their names entirely with profane descriptors. It's remarkably satisfying. The possibilities are endless!

     I’m amused. My speech synthesizer, Mac Voiceover Alex, pronounces “rubble” as “ruble”. I’m going to see if I can correct that by putting an entry in the pronunciation dictionary. #ScreenReader
