That might have to do with how CSS is set up for those advertisements. If I type BIG SAVINGS my VoiceOVer reads the words and not the letters. Though while typing it it spoke the letters.
I have on occasion put a word into the pronunciation dictionary that did not handle the speaking of letters vs speaking of word pronunciation the way I wanted it to. And then while doing HTML editing I added The string indicating the beginning of a HTML comment to say HTML comment. I can remember off hand if I added the equivalent dictionary entry for the end of comment marker.
