In light of recent LGBTQ advancements, I finally decided to set my foot down and find out what my millions of transistors identifies as. Karen is officially a guy now.

1. Open your favorite text editor.
2. Type CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"I Love You"
3. Save it as a .VBS file
4. Let your computer sing

Running Windows 7 I see?

Same error on my end.

Spoiler:

@"Saikou", @"mothered"

Probably because it's missing brackets. It should be this I think:

CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak("I Love You”)

[mothered]

@"Saikou", @"mothered"

CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak("I Love You”)

That doesn't work either. I've had a close look at the code and worked It out.

In the OP's code, have a very careful look at the quotation marks at the end of the code. They're In fact "curly" (typography) quotation marks whilst the rest are straight. Change them to straight and the code will work.

From this (notice the end quotes are curly):

Code:

CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"I Love You”

To this (the end quotes are straight, hence the syntax Is consistent so It will work):

Code:

CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"I Love You"

Looks like my PC is also male so please, respect HIS pronouns  . Just kidding lol. Anyways, It never crossed my mind to try this out at all. Thanks a million I guess.

I neglected to mention that my lappy Is male as well.

I was hoping for the opposite gender, so I'll either trash my 3k Predator or write a code myself. I think the latter Is the better option.

CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"I Love You”

Finding stuff like this in random source code can drive one crazy. Be careful

Seriously though, why do we even have curly quotes

To be honest, I work with code everyday and Identifying errors (syntax etc) has become second-nature. As a programmer yourself, you just know when a piece of code doesn't look right. It sort of hits you In the face. You're right though, at times It does drive me Insane.

Seriously though, why do we even have curly quotes

In all my years of computing, I've never had the need to use curly quotes.
They're useless to me.
