For a "definitive" answer to how your Mathematica expressions might be
read, if you're using Windows or OS X (and perhaps other platforms), and
if you have sound, evaluate:
Speak[Unevaluated[list /. x_ :> SuperStar[x] /; x > 9]]
If you don't have sound, evaluate:
SpokenString[Unevaluated[list /. x_ :> SuperStar[x] /; x > 9]]
Of course the results may not be -- and here, surely, are not -- optimal
for understanding. E.g., the "/." is read as "slash dot". At least the
end of the expression is read intelligently by Mathematica as "with
condition x is greater than 9."
