Re: Word count a whole webpage (no copy/paste!)

Does this thing count articles and similar elements? Also, I understand that it likely works well with English, but will it work with Hungarian? UPD: I decided to check one page from this site , which is in Hungarian, and each tool showed a different result. However, the closest to the correct one ...

Re: Am I allowed to constructively critique a reader?

Hah, well it looks like I don't have the right permission to edit the Guidelines For Proof Listeners or Forum Policies wiki pages.

I did add a "See Also" section at the bottom of the Thanking a Reader. Maybe an admin can make similar changes to the other two pages.

Re: Am I allowed to constructively critique a reader?

Oerps. i totally missed that all these links were posted previously in this exact thread. I take back my clandestine suggestion. As an aside, i think maybe these wiki articles (PL guidelines, thanking reader, forum policies) should be cross-linked via a "See Also" section at the bottom. It looks ...

Is there any way to directly contact the reader with this information? If i might offer what might be an unpopular opinion: The PL guidelines are for Proof Listeners who have the job of making sure the recording are "good enough" For you as a regular listener, there's nothing to stop you from ...

Re: How to avoid the "I'm reading" voice

Thanks for these great tips Mark! I definitely struggle with the artificial inflections (#1 and #2). It's a hard thing to un-learn. And "pause more" (#5) is something I am constantly working at. However, on #4 (at the risk of putting words in Mark's keyboard) I think the point is "don't over-act"? I ...
