It's mispronunciation
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Mispronounciation

In my modest opinion, in which English is only my 3rd language, "indict" is not a stand alone word, it is "to indict" someone or "indictment"

"Stuff" rhymes with "enough"

"I will keep you, Suzy, busy" i'd replace with "I will keep you busy, easy peasy"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/easy_peasy

"Hiccough" ="Hiccup" both are correct terms for the same thing, but "hiccup" goes better with your text...imho
------

other than that, i didn't read it all, just skimmed through it, looks sweet, like the concept of polishing English through such channels, i am an avid forums user for several years precisely because of this reason, as i'm doing some writing on the side and was decided from the start it will be in English which needed some refreshment and practical knowledge derived only from constant use.


Best of luck 😄
Some of the words are pronounced different in my mind because I pronounce them in their original language.

So I stopped so many times..."should i pronounce this as English or ...as it should be pronounced?"

Speaking of 3rd languages, my French is really really bad right now :/. I need to find some French forum.

No, no...no.

It's the pronounciation. That phrase is...dirty in Romanian under the Romanian accent.

Well, i'm not the one to judge (no grammar nazzi here), to me - most of it sounded literate. ^^

It's quite ironic - that in some cases (like yours) - the american version of English sounds more literate - than the one spoken in the homeland... more exactly - in the Yorkshire area. ^^

You know, you're not the first person to tell me I have a somewhat of a British accent.
