Guest guest Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Oh lol, I get it now. I didn't pick up what you were talking about at first because I'm blind and use a screen reader to use the computer, and when it reads e-mails to me it doesn't spell things unless I deliberately ask it to.
