Reminds me of those times when every ESL (more like EFL [fifth]) in the world seems to be crackling out of my earphones. You know, the ones where you sit and let the words pour over you and don't have a clue...so you listen to it 3 or 4 more times then try to transcribe it before you have a stroke?

That is where I think any QA person with a heart would recognize the impossibility of some of these dictators and cut you some slack. I told my PS the last time I got dinged for not understanding gobbledy-gook that the next time that happened to me, any future dictations of such sort would be just one giant marker.

Hmmm. I just got transferred to region 4 too.

Oh well, I think the QA Lady is just recording something of the sort that might come from my keyboard on one of "those days."
