Speak and Swear

Little known ( I think... ) Speak & Spell trivia fact; The very first original S & Ss ( circa 1978 ?? ) with the hard molded buttons had swear words that the programmers had sneaked into the voice code ROMs. On mine you could access these by selecting the module ( with no ROM module plugged in ) and select level D. It would then say " Spell .... a bunch of garbage words, and then swear words" at the end . I have a .wav and an MP3 example of this little S & S Easter Egg... TI found out ( of course ) and recalled as many units as they could. If you can find one now they are quite rare and very entertaining. A special ed teacher I know used S & Ss to help her kids and was wondering why they kept laughing uncontrollably. They had figured out how to access the "special" words .... Best regards, Steven
