『SKYPE』なんて興味ないし、やったこともない。
だけどアレェクスェイはんはロシアのお友達と常にこれで会話をしている。　
昨日、突然マイクの調子が悪くなったらしく、
今日は本人に日本語で書かれているコントロール・パネルを見てくれと頼まれた。
しかし、私とて、サウンドの専門家ではないし、
そんなＰＣの機能を色々といじったこともない。
サウンド関連の事項に関にしては
日々録音作業に携わっているアレェクスェイの方がむしろ詳しい。
それでも尚、説明書を読み読み試してみた。
こういうのは日本語でくどくどと読むより英語で読んだ方が分かりやすい。
下記の英文を一度読んだら、一目瞭然、瞬時に全て理解することができました。
そして、アレェクスェイはんの部屋へ行き、５分以内に全部直しました。
結果は大成功（にこにこ）、ご褒美はほっぺにキスのみでしたが（笑）、
ダーリンに滅茶苦茶感謝されました。
言葉の力ってすごいなぁとつくづく思った次第でした。
今日はサウンド・エンジニアになった気分、めでたし、めでたし！！！
