Keyword Talk designates this macro as belonging to the collection of macros known as Conversational, designed to simulate polite conversation while imparting general status and condition information.
First word MACRO differentiates between MACROS, SCENES, MODES, and RULES
Delayed TTS phrase causes TTS action to be scheduled as a future event. This results in quicker execution of the macro allowing the status report rules to begin execution before the speech begins.
