NVDA spells words, where it shouldn't

it seems that NVDA on Windows Chrome and FF doesn't read the word "selection" correctly. The word actually gets spelled. Setting the lang attribute doesn't help. I've tested this behavior also on other sites, like This One and get the same result: the word is spelled not read out.

When i tab to the buttons it says. "remove s e l e c t i o n". Do you have any ideas?

<div lang="en">
  <button>
    remove selection
  </button>
  <button>
    add to selection
  </button>
</div>

This is because your NVDA configuration has either been set to spell out certain words in its punctuation settings or, more likely, because it doesn't recognise the word as part of the system's default language (which you mention is German) and so it spells out any words it doesn't recognise.
