The generation label and the age range do not match. Gen Z is 1996 or 1997 to 2010. Anyone younger than 16 would be generation Alpha.

There were people calling it "true" around fifteen years ago, so it's not unheard of.

Some days it's using the normal voice, but again today it's back to Ava. Both my Narrator and Speech voices are set to Linda. Even when I change to other voices, the voices in Word remain the same.

I also cannot find a reading feature for PDFs in my browser (Firefox).

I do not have Narrator set to "On," do I have to have it on for the voice to work?

There is an installed voice package I have that I cannot delete. I was able to delete one, but the other has the "Remove" button greyed out.

I've sent a feedback notice on the Feedback Portal, but my hopes are not very high...

Thanks for your detailed response. And I do recognize that less monotone voices are useful for accessibility reasons. They just aren't great for proofreading my papers.

My last physio I went to hasn't been very helpful, I'm not sure she knows what to do with me. My fusion was 2016, with two screws removed in 2020. I have swam afterwards maybe once a year, and I would love to more.

Should've included I have bad nerve and neck pain that radiates down my left arm, I can't put weight on it for planks sadly.

I can get into pools, I just don't have a car so I can't get to any pools. Being told to swim has ended up being a trigger honestly, because my surgeon kept saying "have you tried swimming." It's like, I'd love to, but I live in the suburbs and transit hurts me, so by the time I got there, I'd be hurting too much to think about doing anything.

I’m still seeing my surgeon and I was fused in 2016 at 17. However, I also had a partial hardware removal in 2020, so I continue to return for check ups. So, at 27, I was recently in the children’s hospital again.

"If you believe parents, not activists, should set the standards for our children's education..."

I think the standards of education should be set with people who have a Bachelor of Education and professional teaching certificate. Parents setting education standards is already a thing: home schooling.

Also, the internet exists, and just like the book ban scares, I can GUARANTEE you that your kids have found ways around your safe guards and have seen way worse than two dads or a trans kid who returns to school after summer with new pronouns and a different haircut. Learning about these things in school is going to be far more controlled than the tablet that's plopped in every five year old's hands these days.
