In fact I would say Miku English is higher quality than Gumi English if it wasn't for the former's terrible pronunciation and accent. Nana English is pretty good but she was discontinued after her V4 update was announced. Also she tends to slur a bit and pronounce R as either L or W, which sounds kind of...French?

I wouldn't count 17 as young teen, because a year later they would be legal adults. The age group I assume Ness is talking about is 10-15. But I think whether a Vocaloid is "young" should be based off the age the vocal sounds like, rather than the age of the character. Dex and Daina are young sounding but more like 17+ rather than under 16. Cyber Diva is a mature soprano, so I'd categorize her as a adult vocal. Avanna, Prima, and Luka are character-wise young adults but they are adult vocals. Yohioloid is the only true teenage English vocal there is, and he is the second youngest English vocal. But I think the only ones that would "pass" for the age group of 10-15 are: Oliver, Rin, Len (if you put enough gender factor on him, otherwise he sounds like a mature woman), Fukase, Ruby, Gumi, Miku, Nana, and Sonika. Dex and Daina also could, but more towards 15+ than the ones I mentioned who could be anywhere between that age range. Yeah, I agree with you.

Apparently Zero-G doesn't charge tax on their online orders (or at least no tax for me, since I live in the US, so I have no VAT number, whatever that is). So the total for Tonio and Prima for me is $79.98US, which I have on my Visa gift card! So I am going to be getting them. :D  And also my new iPhone SE just arrived! I really want to open it up and start to use it, but I need to be writing a speech right now and I have - OH CRAP! Only 10 minutes to turn it in for it to be on time! Now 9 minutes! Ugh, it's not going to be on time. XP  Oh well, that's just the deadline for the plagiarism checker, it's not actually due until Wednesday. 7 minutes now. XP
