Patch to modify how 'dash' is treated for verbalized punctuation

It turns out that the "-" is being morphed into "dash-" via our verbalized punctuation code. The patch changes the punctuation classification of the "-" character to REPLACE versus INSERT.  I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do.  Rich, do you remember reasons for why "-" is an INSERT versus REPLACE?

Both patches are identical in the previous comments.  I'm not sure what happened with Bugzilla.
Comment 4 Willie Walker 2007-03-01 15:42:11 UTC 
Halim reports: "And I can tell you that the patch fixed the Problem."

Negative number maybe? Dunno. Mike might have an idea. Could be just a bug.
Comment 6 Willie Walker 2007-03-01 17:29:08 UTC 
Tested with negative numbers and it seems to work well.  The only issue, which I don't think is related to this bug/patch is that if a negative number is the first thing on a line, we'll hear "dash" followed by the number instead of "minus" followed by the number.  I think that might be another special case to add to bug 392939.  Closing this bug and reopening bug 392939.
