I've changed it in our catalog and on the Archive page. (I understand completely!)

The main reason to post is to alert the DPL, so it's fine with me if you don't post in the thread while Pattymarie is traveling. Let me know if you need anything!

Hope you have a good time and safe travels!

Mark Twain wrote a 208-word sentence to complain about long sentences :lol: in "The Awful German Language" (part of A Tramp Abroad ). An average sentence, in a German newspaper, is a sublime and impressive curiosity; it occupies a quarter of a column; it contains all the ten parts of speech -- not i...

Oh good, I'm glad that's all it was!

We have had a few volunteers use a pseudonym for *cough* certain books *cough* that they didn't need employers (or grandparents) to know they had read, but luckily nearly all of our old PD books are safe for work.

You could edit your old posts, but bear in mind that project-specific forum posts help our workflow because they're a record of sections submitted, PL comments addressed, etc. If you've posted personal information you'd rather not have floating out in the wide world, editing that part out wouldn't a...

I don't like the idea of adding another sound to a recording AT ALL. I listened to one of the watermarked files and really couldn't stand hearing words on top of words. It sounded like a mistake and was very off-putting.

Hi and welcome! I've added you to the database as the dedicated prooflistener, so you'll be able to access the Section Compiler after you've created a login. I'll send you a couple of documents by private message that explain the process further, in case anything on the Wiki page that Hannah linked ...

Good! We can post an ad for a DPL in Listeners/Editors Wanted (no putting anyone on the spot). Would you like to do it or shall I?

I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole (for the good of the LV community -- not a matter of whether it should be recorded at all but whether it should be recorded here at this time; maybe in 10 years as Tricia suggests or as a non-LV project). Also you'd want to be absolutely sure it's in the publ...

Congratulations!

Thanks! I'll finish up when I get home tonight.

In the Section Compiler, the title of section 10 is VI part 1, and the title of section 11 is V part 2. The file durations listed in the Section Compiler are also switched from the actual file durations (the duration of section 10 is 31:46 and the duration of section 11 is 34:43, opposite of what's ...

Hi! I'm in the process of cataloging this (Availle is away). Could one of you double check sections 10 and 11? They appear to be reversed (title tags and audio intros are switched), but I'd like to be sure they're not just labeled incorrectly before I change their file names and reupload them to Arc...
