Haha that's excellent. Reminds me of a normalisation rule I wrote as part of a larger system to convert "Joe Bloggs Md." into "Dr. Joe Blogs MD" (where MD is Medical Doctor). TIL that "Md." is a common abbreviation for "Mohammed" in large parts of the world...

The text-to-speech system in use at my local GP's surgery (that announces to patients which which rooms they need to go to) pronounces 'Dr' as 'Drive', rather than 'Doctor'. I thought someone would have tested that!
