Don't remeber if anyone mentioned before (maybe I did myself), but fjellström (or actually fjällström) and kalliokoski both mean practically the same thing. Hill creek. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Sounds like a modification on EA's anthem Doing audio takes up more space than a text post. Talking maybe easier than typing, but if you compare the file sizes for a text document versus a audio file the audio has been bigger. Yes I tested this, I typed 3 different document files and then recorded me saying them word for word and cut out dead space where I could, but ultimately the audio was larger than the text. With text I could (just an example) rant for paragraph after paragraph, where as audio I would have to attach multiple files or one huge file to do the same thing. Then you have to figure into the equation that almost everyone says 'um' or 'uh' or leave dead space while thinking of what they are going to say next. Audio is easier to do, but text is easier to fix without re-recording the same point or statement over and over. Also, I don't think I ever actually talked in the forums, more like fantasized and made remarks to posts. I still do the latter of the two. I don't use my mic because as I said I hate my voice so I avoid any circumstance where I have to talk on the phone or on a recording.

It also seems to amplify dead air, which is a bit annoying. Any noise/sound at all will be amplified. Kinda goes without saying. -- |

Yhea we all already know how to pronounce Kalliokoski in his original language and in English. Now that this problem has been addressed I feel much better so I can move on... is a relief, I couldn't take it anymore.

Question to non-native English speakers: do native English speaking people seem like they talk fast compared to people speaking in your native language? I ask because English seems like such a slow language to me; however, when I hear somebody speak Spanish (lots of that here), it sounds like they are talking at least three times faster. And I even know a little bit of Spanish, but that doesn't really help. |

Well, I think that may happen because you don't know completely the language or don't have the enough practice, so once you "lose" a word the rest just don't make sense and it may give you the impression that the person is speaking too fast. It happens to me sometimes when I'm seeing a movie or something. But since most what I hear is a radio channel to learn English all the teachers there talk very slow but they do it intentionally. However I have heard the guy at radio Paradise and damn that man speaks incredible slow. Now, there is another BIG factor that I think is the reason you're not able to understand Spanish-speaking there in your country and the reason is that the 90% of Spanish-speaking people there doesn't come from Spain but South America and many of those guys are very difficult to understand even to us It happens the same at "República Dominicana" and other countries. Just as a joke, in Mexico you don't say "Hola" but "Holaaaaaaa", Here in Spain we have a funny accent you can distinguish from the rest of the Spanish speaking countries in all the world and it's the way we pronounce the "s". In South America and even here at Spain in some provinces the difference betwen the "s" and the "z" is very noticeable, but here we pronounce the "z" as it was a "s" so there is no difference, and that makes a very huge difference, yhea just one letter.

Wife says I talk 90 mile an hour when I get going on a subject I'm passionate about. She compared me to the old micro machines guy who talked real fast.

To me they sound like the same speed as German. But German also feels slow to me. I remember as a kid before I could understand much spoken English it sounded somewhat croaking to me, something like everything they say is "gouwowougowouoagowogo...". Today that's completely disappeared though and both German and English sound rather clear (unless the speaker is from certain parts of England). Anyway, the point is how the very same language sounds completely different to me depending on wether I understood it yet or not, so this makes me agree with AMCerasoli. I also was never able to say how German sounds - since it's just spoken strings of words without any actual sounds behind them, to my ears -- |

English is slow. My middle school English teacher had to point out English isn't spoken so rapidly. Elias said: But German also feels slow to me. Now that you mention it. I often find it comical to hear German television, when they sometimes use words which are related to Dutch or English, and they stress the word by elongating it over a (to me) ridiculously long time. |
