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.

Baat of cooorse, one is mioast displeeeyeesed; the'att the Quaains E'yengle'yish is see'yo dree'yehdfully Pre'onaaanced, bay the'yose hohrable, Ammee'yerican se'yinths.


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!
