And, by the way, I do believe we _should_ mention spell-checking. This is another case of a general good practice, where failing to follow the practice has more severe impacts on the text-to-speech user than on the visual user. Someone reading with their eyes can usually pick out the spelling error or will in fact read right through it without perceiving the error. But someone depending on text to speech will get garbage for a word with a spelling error. This heightened vulnerability to something that otherwise is a minor nuisance _should be mentioned_. Al PS: This is a "do as I say, not as I do." One can find ample evidence of this effect among the perplexed readers of my unchecked email <wince>.
