I don't see that this is an apple issue rather than a voice and language

I think personally that you need to set the dictionary for voiceover to say
the word pease correctly by setting the dictionary to use a word that may
not be correctly spelt but makes the word sound correct.

It seems to me that Apple fixes one thing, only to mess up something else.
I wish they would get stuff right. I'm not saying they have anything to do
with pronunciations but if they did, they need to fix it.

I can understand that words are mispronounced, but when one cannot even go
in and correct the pronunciation, there is something wrong.
