      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!               R\%/itt - K5RXT              --- GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012       --- D'Bridge 3.99        * Origin: South-Texas Area Hub - Gulf Coast Backbone (1:387/22)    |
