Some years ago when I bought my Votrax type 'n talk text to speech
synthesizer, I mentioned in net.something_or_other that I "listened"
to usenet articles with some of the same facination (and problems)
that have been mentioned already.

I had also suggested another version of all newsgroups,
the variation for this newsgroup would be net.micro.amiga.gab
(netname).gab where folk would write articles with a more phonetic
spelling.  It seemed that this would make prow nun c a shunz by
speech synthesizers happy and spelling errors unnoticeable.  

Although it could be argued that some net groups already spell
"that" way, I got a sense of little enthusiasm  O WAY L !
Any interest now? :-)
