NOTE: Recent versions of the Safari browser cause some of the graphics to be displaced.[why?] The ones that I have noticed are (1) the arrows showing airflow for [l], [n], [ng]; (2) the puff of air for [f], [s]. Firefox and probably other browsers should work fine if you have the QuickTime 7 plugin.

Why is this happening? The answer is that Apple computer has made the ridiculously bad decision to build the QuickTime X movie player into the Safari browser. You can't even use the QuickTime 7 plug-in. QuickTime 7 was the best piece of software that Apple computer made. Why they are pushing the piece of crap that is QuickTime X is beyond me!
