Hello:
I always turn punctuation to none or at the least some whenever possible.
Only when I'm editing do I turn punctuation on and even then I try to use
braille not speech. I use it instead of verbosity as I hate hearing anything
more than I have to. As much as I hear jaws all day the less I hear from it
the better. I find most of my students work at intermediate and have some
punctuation turned on a majority of the time interestingly these are
students that only use word processing. They do very little on the web and
have very low web skills.
