Evil twin

Some people have very similar voices, and this can cause confusion in Skypeland. The lovely English teacher D from Norway sounds almost identical to the vivacious K from the Netherlands. Although their voices sound very similar to each other, D and K have very different characters and this can cause a lot of confusion. While both D and K sound so sweet that butter would not melt in their mouths, K has a decidedly more provocative side. For example:

*K is slightly flirtatious, while D is very proper.

*K teases others, especially Aussies. When an Aussie was talking about how the fabled Australian outlaw Ned Kelly held off the police wearing an early version of body armor, K agreed and said that young Ned wore an "old milking bucket on his head with a couple of holes punched out for his eyes". D would never say such a thing.

*K has insulted a few of the Skypeland by talking about "felching". As for D, well, do you need to even ask?

This can create all sorts of embarassing situations and cases of mistaken identity. I guess K is basically like D's evil twin.
