if you are fluent, and say “Mike’s lemonade is tart”, it will know from context that it is Mike’s lemonade and provide the posses- sive apostrophe. And then: Hello Mr. V.

Re: 400724393 This afternoon, in the hopes of illustrating how useless MacSpeech Dic- tate is to me in my work, I’m sending you a copy of a recent newspaper ar- ticle that I wrote. Then, I took the same article and

I sure hope that Dragon’s engineering department can make their acquisition of MacSpeech Dictate work as originally promised. As you’ll read, my experience speaks for itself too! Please see accompanying article.

Re- markable work.” Same excerpt produced by MacSpeech: “In a weeks time it was
