I once listened to a Harry Dresden book that was read by text-to-speech (back before they went back and had James Masters read all the books). It always said the word "wizard" (Harry's a wizard) sarcastically. It made it seem like all the other characters were making fun of him all the time and really changed the feel of the book.
