I was messing around with this website, looking up a word, actually, when I discovered this handy pronunciation guide.

Ain't that cool?

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Almost as cool as this.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

rivka and Icarus, that was awesome.

EDIT: 'Cause I clicked on rivka's link first.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Pfft. I'm not fighting on behalf of anyone.

I just think turnabout is fair play. And this is a cool toy. [Big Grin]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Ic: [Kiss]

Of course you're forgiven, except that doesn't work for me either.

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

if it was, you wouldn't be kissing him [Razz]

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

I thought you meant you couldn't figure out how to do it yourself . . . you mean you can't hear it at all?

Do you hear anything at all?

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Really?

I pronounce it differently.

[Big Grin]

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

How are you doing this?

Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

Something weird about that underlined Raia:
First time ya play it on IE, it takes the WaveBalance and SWSynthBalance down to near-zero volume.
Reset them and then it works just fine. [Dont Know]

Worked fine in other browsers.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

I should think it's obvious, Teshi. [Smile]

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

'sokay, love, we know you are just misunderstood.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

Oh I figured it out.

Not half as misunderstood as you are [Cry]

No...

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Do you hear stuff on other web sites?

Could it have something to do with whatever the heck aspectre is talking about?

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

No, because I'm using firefox. And yes, I hear other things on other websites!

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Really? So...

Sorry about that, Raia.

Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

The audio plays on Quicktime, and Microsoft is pulling another nasty. When ya shut down Firefox, Microsoft kicks the Quicktime out of that browser, and doesn't automaticly bring it back in when ya bring Firefox back up.

I...

What?

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

(Raia, read the urls.)

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Oh, sorry, I was addressing aspectre... I can click on the link, I just can't hear anything. It was still cool though. [Smile]

Oooooooooooh.

Ah well.

Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

Well, that's what Firefox is telling me: I need to reinstall Quicktime as a plug-in. Even though I've already installed Quicktime into Firefox, have already successfully used it, and have never uninstalled Quicktime from Firefox.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

That's so weird.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Okay . . . if you say so!

[Wink]

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

[ROFL]

Raia, really, if you read the urls, you should be able to get it...

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Maybe they would work if you used a different browser.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

I do get it!! I just can't hear it! And it saddens me.

I'm not THAT stupid. [Razz]

Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :

See where it says "Click here to listen with your default audio player"? Try clicking that.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Hey, it worked! Thanks, Boon!! [Kiss]

Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :

You're welcome.

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

And look, I can do it too!
