Dear Rod: Thanks for the URL. I kept wondering how anybody had the energy to compile such a long clever list, until I got down to the bottom and found out it was for testing applicants for job of radio announcer . I had problems with a few also.

Dr Bill, I think the Radio Announcer refers to the foreign names text below it, and the English pronounciation poem was written in response to the Eurospeak text above it. It's not very clear where one topic ends and the other begins though, so I could equally well be wrong.

Dear Rod: I goofed. The most important reason I confess is to say again there is a lot of good stuff at that site.

Couldn't resist reading it aloud, with only one small cloud
... a couple of British place names had me tearing my hair.
The Hong Kong sub-titles were good for a late evening chuckle, Thank you!
