If you do that, then if you ever wanted to turn punctuation on for a
session, those punctuation marks you defined as empty spaces would not be
announced. If you give them the normal name, (or whatever you want to name
them), then it gives you the option of still using the normal punctuation
settings of Some, Most, or All, and still get them announced.
