   Greetings alexander!   
      
    RW>>>> The word tasted would fit that line better than tested.   
    RW>>   
    ak>>> Tasted. To tell the truth, I wanted to put just this word.   
    RW>>   
    RW>> Tasted or tested?   
      
    ak> "Tasted" of course. If I had pronounced it better, in my head, I   
    ak> would not probably make such an error.   
      
   Ok...   
      
    ak> BTW, it is a very good idea to pronounce correctly all what you are   
    ak> writing or reading.   
      
   Not only that, but to take what you're reading into context so that when   
   you come across a word that is spelled the same as another, but has a   
   different meaning, you'll be able to distinguish the meaning of the word   
   by the context in which it is used.   
      
    ak> As for me, if I have even a doubt about the pronunciation of the word   
    ak> which I am reading or writing I always take my dictionary.   
      
   www.freedictionary.com has a feature where you can hear the word being   
   spoken in English so that you can pronounce it correctly. It also helps to   
   say the word out-loud, so you can hear it being spoken with a 'Russian'   
   accent. 8^)   
      
    ak> PS: "Taste" was a too known verb to make me take my dictionary. ;-)   
      
   Read:   
      
   PS: "Taste" is a very well known verb, enough so to make me consult my   
   dictionary for spelling and meaning.   
      
      
       Have a day!
