my mac just started giving me john madden style play by play announcements of everything i'm doing and i can't figure out how to turn it off.
someone asked this before and i searched all over for it but found nothing.
anyone know what key or series of keys i must have hit to turn this shit on?

Hahaha...someone in my office did that to me, and every time I get in error it says these random bits in front of them. Like "Jack you dumb ass..." "Jack you're retarded" "Jack you have an error in your code, you moron" "Jack is dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb..." I don't know how to turn it off either.

check Announce when alerts are displayed and edit the phrase list with your own BS.
