why two disable speakup keys?

[Lorenzo Prince]

The "you turned me off" function stops Speakup from speaking, but still
allous you to use the review keys to read the screen.  The "You killed
speakup!" function turns Speakup completely off, so that the review keys
cannot be used to read the screen.  However, neither function will cause
the keypad to work as normal, i.e. as if Speakup was not in the kernel.
