GizmoGuy411, I still don't see the entry for "Pkwy" (only P capitalized), but for "PKWY" (all caps).

Jane pronounces the city of Ione, California like "I ohn E(E as if saying the letter e)".

It should be pounced like "eyeon" or "Ion"

Mispronunciation of "Koch" - a former NYC mayor - by Jane (US)
Permalink

Says: Coke (or sometimes people hear Koh) --> Should be pronounced: Kach (like watch)

This may be redundant.

I-80 should be pronounced as "Interstate Eighty" but not "I 80"
Blvd should be pronounced as "Boulevard" but not "B L V D"

Am I correct in my assumption that this means that William Penn Highway will now be called "William Penn Highway" as oppoesed to "William Pennsylvania Highway"?

If so thanks, that was annoying.

Here is another word that TTS speaks very poorly "Vincennes" TTS should say "vin-senz" However, TTS currently says "vin-sin-es"

Mispronunciation of Passyunk Avenue in Philadelphia.

Here is a UR that accurately depicts two correct pronunciations:

There are a number of places in South Philly that Jane doesn't pronounce correctly, but that is more local interpretation than being phonetically off.

In Germantown, TN using US English Jane

Street Name: Houston Levee Rd
Sounds like: Houston Lee-vee Rd (long 'e' as in 'breeze')
Should sound like: Houston Leh-vee Rd (short 'e' like in 'red')

Heard the same pronunciation when turning onto road from several other roads and directions.

I like single. Because they are thinner.
I'd prefer single for an additional reason: only requires one keystroke instead of two-simultaneous (as is required for the double. (At least, that's the way it is on every full sized keyboard I've ever used.)
