For example, while the US voice calls me Jacob Kroojer, the british
version at least calls me Jacob Kroogger...
Have at least once had someone give me a skype VOIP call from
America, and then hang up since he didn't want to believe I was
really speaking english - sent him an email a bit later trying to
'explain' to him...LOL again!
Otherwise, when speaking to UK guys over phone etc., I have once or
twice just been asked to speak a bit slower myself - but OTOH, some
people like my own mother this side tell me the same thing
occasionally - maybe I'm too used to my computer etc. jabbering
away, and so do it myself...?

Actually Jacob, i've always found british eloquence sounds more
like what happens when a bad American actor tries! to do a british
accent and fails horribly, that's why I dislike it myself and if I
were to use eloquence I'd probably want the Us version just for
that reason even though for most synths I'd much prefer a british
voice, ---- having something of a slightly over posh English accent myself ;D.

yee gods! getting orphius to say that poshly enough was bloody
hard, and goodness knows what other synths will make of it ;d.
Beware the Grue!
