The problem is that IE8 is much more standards compliant. It no longer requires a lot of the hacks that are needed to display previous versions. The sites that require compatibility view probably would already work, but they are set to do weird things whenever they detect that a browser is any version of internet explorer. This is a really really good thing. Fewer head-aches for developers soon. "Are they seriously thinking everyone is going jump at it to fix their sites for IE8? How about fixing your browser to work right out of the box with every site!" Yes... that's what they've done for every previous version of IE. Most people do use it.

Hi Mawi, The thing that made it hardest to understand was the microphone. Your english sounds good, but a bit nasally. It's especially noticeable with words like "too". Where are you from? It is easy to tell that you practice since your accent is hard to place. The general way that you use intonation is good, although it doesn't always follow the sentences. "Hi my name is Mawi, and I am taking accent training". Even this sounds a little awkward. It's hard to describe in text, and there is no single correct way to say it, but certain things just stick out, "TRAINing" for example. You're right -- just listen to a ton of American news (preferably (I know it's painful)) if you want to get it right. News casters generally have very neutral accents. Overall, you are easy to understand, but you definitely don't sound like a native speaker. Don't be discouraged, though, since I know people who have lived in America for 20+ years who sound a lot worse! -Mark
