I don't know the final choice but as long as it may be easy to change
those pronunciations, just document clearly how one should do it.  Be
careful there; someone suggested changing quote to apostrophe. How
wrong! this mark (") is a full quote or double quote.  Where (') is an
apostrophe or single quote mark.  In speakup, it is pronounced as
'tick'. I like tick because it is one syllable.  I also am more used
to slash than stroke.  Oh, I would switch Prime for Tick.
