BEST FIT FOR MOST PEOPLE

Please advise us if you think that the translations on a printed chart, or the pronunciation or accent on an interactive chart, can be improved. If a good number of people think the same, or there is a good case for improvement, we will make the necessary changes or produce alternatives (time permitting!). For example, in some languages, different words, or similar words with different spellings, may be more common in some regions, especially if it is not the first language. Please bear in mind that, if you do suggest changes, we aim to produce the best fit for most people!
