I remember fearing this machine, not because it could talk, but because it was unintelligible sometimes. I remember one the first times I used it, I was maybe 8 years old, and I was confused. Here is what I heard :

"Spell Hooves"

H-O-O-V-E-S

Wrong! Try again. Spell Hooves.

H-O-O-V-E-S

Wrong! Try Again. Hooves

H-O-O-V-E-S

That is incorrect! The correct spelling of hooves is W-O-L-V-E-S.

I hate you speak and spell.
