Hi,

I'm replying to Olga's message on the list, and cc'ing it to HJ, since
they need to be aware of this.  I'd been meaning to write them for a while
about this myself anyway. 

Actually, this problem has existed since the new Eloquence was released. 
It only happens if you have the number mode set to "say digits".  It seems
to be an Eloquence problem, since Eloquence is too smart for its own good
and tries to read dates in context.  If Eloquence gets a phrase like 
"on March 16" or "on May 27"
it sees the "on (month-name) number" and
reads
the number as an ordinal number for dates.  I.e. it reads the above
strings as "on March first six" and "on May second seven" when reading by
line or in say-all (reading by words works correctly though.)  Since JFW
only passes one digit at a time to Eloquence (when "say digits" is set),
Eloquence reads the first number (e.g. a 1 or 2) as "first" or "second"
respectively, and then tacks on the next digit.  This is really
irritating, and I hope HJ can find a work-around.  I, personally, prefer
to have numbers spoken as single digits, but the date problem with
Eloquence does cause confusion.
