Is there a switch on SPEAK:  or say that will turn off the expansion of
abbreviations?  For example, the sentence

	I am the Wizard of Oz.

comes out sounding like 

	I am the wizard of ounces.

I know you're saying that the need for Oz at the end of a sentence if
miniscule but there is at least Dr. (for doctor when I wanted drive).  There
are other abbrevitions but you catch my drift.  Right now, the only way I've
come up with to defeat this is to put a space before a termination period.
Ah, but this means I have to "edit" my incoming text.
