I hear your concerns, John.
As I understand Idunno's post, what Evergreen may have been attempting to address is the problem, in an accelerating aircraft, of the length of time it takes to say (and recognise) the words "Vee wun". I know of several airlines which state that the PNF must say the words in such a way that the finish of the words coincides with V1 being reached. This tends to result in it sounding more like "Veeeeeeeee...... WUN". Others state that if the PF has heard anything sounding like "Ve..." when a failure occurs he must not abort. Perhaps it is long past time that an internal bug can be set on the ASI and an automatic gong (or other sound) is heard that alerts the crew to the requirement to continue the takeoff. We have the technology...
