Get your Mac to say where you are ... select the entire URL in the Safari address bar by clicking on the favicon to the left. Right-click (control-click) it and choose Speech -> Start speaking. This feature works in any text field, as you already know, but what's cool here is that when you do it on the Mac OS X Hints address, it actually says "Mac OS Ten Hints." Sweet. Trust Apple.
[Editor's note: Honest, they never called me to ask how I pronounce it, which is actually the wrong way ("mac-os-ex-hints"), given that I want people to spell it correctly! Since this is done using the speech system, this same pronunciation trick works in any app that supports speech.]
