I've also noticed about "New York". However, while some mispronunciations are kind of understandable, the few I've listed are plain weird:
a. "father" is pronounced like "clavicle".
b. "in fact" is pronounced like "engine".
c. "family"... well, this is garbled.

These are common, English words. Not place names, not abbreviations, i.e., no excuse at all. Anybody noticed this?

And let me clarify, I think TTS is great. It is really useful, for instance, when reading while eating: you don't have to press the page-down button. Also, when reading in lowlight, TTS helps ease eyestrain.
