I wouldn't mind and the main disputants here are non-English natives
both. It would be probably the rest not understanding our
pronounciation ;)

We can fire up an IRC session in parallel to paste in things.

That's the real disadvantage of IRC: You wait for someone's reply who
went on doing other things and while waiting you decide to do other
stuff yourself. In a typical IRC session there is a round-about in
dialogs of 5/minute while voice gets up to 15/minute.

I'm in for any form, IRC sessions have the big advantage of being
archivable and searchable.
