Are you sure? Maybe they just sound so similar it's hard to tell the difference. I have that problem with word "house" in English and "huis" in Dutch. When they are talking normally, I almost can't hear a difference most of the time but there is.

China Man,

I wouldn't post your Skype ID on here for everyone to see. I've added you to my Skype. You need to tell me which Skype sessions you want to join. For now I am keeping it to a maximum of 8 participants (not including myself).

Take care!
Megan
