[DECtalk] Sample text

[ebruckert Bruckert]

Hello everyone I have a really tough trivia one for you today, which most
people don't know about. On the first version of DECtalk singing version 2.3
I believe it was Dennis made a mistake which he later corrected. So the
first deck talk sang differently than all others.

What was the mistake he made.
