Thank you, Amy. You made me blush to the roots of my ginger hair so that my freckles nicely blended in with my crimson red face :D.

Oh, I see. Thanks, Torsten. It's detailed responses like that that really make life worth living.

Out of curiosity, have any of the tests been recorded by someone with an American or Canadian accent?

Hi,

I've just edited Torsten's and Amy's messages, because the person in question stated private reasons as to why he did not want to be mentioned here.

Many thanks for pointing this out. I changed it a couple of weeks ago and it will go online with the next update.

Q#2 needs some sort of repunctuating. I suggest: Charlie: Yes, hello. It's Charlie here.

Q#3 does, too. I suggest: Woman: Me? Oh, I'm doing ........., thank you. And you?

For Q#9 perhaps: Woman: By the way, I don't know anybody ......... Charlie.

And #10: Charlie: Sorry about that. I must have ......... the wrong number.
