I believe there is a misspelling error in one of the random sentences for 電話 during practice. http://puu.sh/2EF2M.png In the first sentence "Make a crank call to", it says "crank" instead of "prank".

    Thank you Kri~ I wasn't aware~ Might someone know if that difference is made in Japanese and what the two (Or more) words/kanji might be?

    I think the better translation would have been "prank call" rather than crank. いたずら (悪戯?) seems to mean more of a joke or trick, where as a crank call is more of a malicious thing, isn't it? So you may be correct about it being wrong, idk.

    I do see 'いたずら' as being more of playful joke/trick rather than harmful as 'crank' suggest but it could possibly depend on how the kanji is used in context which may change to mean either of the two?
