I am also running Adobe Reader 10, version 10.0.1. So, that's not it. I'm on the 32 bit version though.

Warning to learners:
This book may point out more errors in your pronunciation than you ever imagined existed.
This is a good thing, but it stings the pride somewhat...

Just think of it as an opportunity to learn

Mar a thuirt Eric Morecambe (Camas na Mara), "I'm making all the right sounds - just not necessarily in the right order"...

I'm curious, Niall, what exactly did you spot you're doing right now that you weren't before?

Oops... meant to reply sooner, but I needed a quick reread of the book to check up exactly what I was thinking about. And then I didn't reread any of the book until Saturday.
1) I had always thought that the slender/broad distinction held even for weak N, L, R.
2) I had no concept of "grinning" O and U, and my ao wasn't a grinning U (although I'm still not 100% clear on where grinning O arises).
Those are the only ones I spotted, but maybe I was skimming too quickly, as I have a feeling there's more....

If you check p. 366, it does hold for weak r. Aren't l, n, r fun. Sometimes I wish there were still 4 of each, even if I had to wrap my tounge around additional sounds

To my German ears they sound quite close to ü and ö, which are completely different sounds though
