Hi Gordon, This is something that the Infovox voices do, not Apple's. In fact, if you switch to a voice by Apple, Alex or others do not interpret this wrongly. I'm guessing in some places this is another way to format the dates, and VoiceOver does not always govern how information is

Hi Nic You've basically said it all. But, of course, my error earlier was forgetting totally about the layer of control that Infovox presents. Infovox doesn't always make things too easy as they use fonems to string together sounds. I suppose that is reasonable in a way, as it allows you to
