As a former professional actress, I think I have better than average diction, and I have gone ‘round and ‘round these “voice recognition” prompts until I am ready to scream.
I’m not sure just to whom I am replying, but I submit the following: at age 5 (1937) I had a ruptured appendix–diagnosed at least 48 to 72 hours after the event. (Remember, no sulfa, no antibiotics in those days.) The surgeon who operated said that the only way he could justify surgery was that I would definitely die if he did not. (I am now 78.) In 1965 my four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with lymphosarcoma, and my husband and I could easily tell from the way the doctors talked to us that they were preparing us for her imminent death. She is now 48 and the mother of two great kids. Our families have always been and still are convinced of the power of prayer, and these two events have done nothing to disabuse us of our faith. (We are Episcopalians, if anyone is interested.)
It would be helpful if the artist had learned to spell–“swithched” –for instance. Also senorbullwinkle’s innovative “repubican” and “repubic”. Also, “Demo’s” doesn’t need an apostrophe…..
At least learn how to spell “Antioch.”
