OK, I found the culprit. It's the word "MAC"!
Something else odd is also going on because on some Web pages I hear
phrases and sometimes entire short sentences spelled out with VO that I
don't get presented that way in Windows, so there's probably some funky
punctuation going on that maybe makes VO think the string is one big
word, something, I just don't know. Next time I trip over this, I'll
make careful note of it and post about it, along with the object that
created/caused the spelling behavior.

That might have to do with how CSS is set up for those advertisements.
If I type BIG SAVINGS my VoiceOVer reads the words and not the
letters. Though while typing it it spoke the letters.
I have on occasion put a word into the pronunciation dictionary that
did not handle the speaking of letters vs speaking of word
pronunciation the way I wanted it to. And then while doing HTML
editing I added
The string indicating the beginning of a HTML comment to say HTML
comment. I can remember off hand if I added the equivalent dictionary
entry for the end of comment marker.
Best Wishes,

I think VO as it stands, handles this properly. I opened a
document in TextEdit and entered several acronyms. VO read them as
expected, for example it reads ACLU as A C L U. There is a setting
you might look at in VO Utility, Verbosity category, Text tab. It's
an option that affects how capital letters are handled.
But that's single letters. Whenever I run into something in all
capital letters, like an advertisement with capital letters in a
double-height double-wide font that says "big big savings" or
something similar, I hear this:
B I G S A V I N G S
without the spaces, of course. Every time I read something with the
phrase "MAC address," I hear "M A C address." The setting to which
you refer is only for single letters. The above examples are the
kinds of things I want eliminated.
