There is no real need to QUOTE long posts if you are not going to use them.
Well, what if he doesnt? Yeah, you bet. I shouldn't have quoted that long post. But then again, I just wanted to make a REPLY.(I realised my boo-boo.Thank you!) Why do i feel you're so hostile toward me? (Am i PARANOID or what?). CANT we just all get along?( I'm sorry if I get you WRONG) Regards

In what way do you think it sounds awkward? It sounds fine to me, given that individual words are being pronounced.

By the way, Thank you for your CONTRIBUTION.

I'm not sure about the awkwardness of the post, but I'm sure that it would be better to let the thread starter decide about it!

Sorry, probably I dont get used to British pronunciation. Hehe
Like, the word *large*, It sounds UNEASY to me( As you know, for American English, all the /r/ sound should be pronounced.)
Another word, like Volume. Instead of pronouncing the /v/ sound, why does the speaker make the /f/ sound. To me, it sounds like /Foljem/. Volume | Define Volume at Dictionary.com It sounds totally different from this.
Well, I just listened each sounds on the phonetics chart again. I think it does sound WELL.
By the way, I'm sorry if I'm being FUSSY- -
