Re: [CHILDREN] Harper's Young People, Vol. 01, Issue 39 - jo

Usually variations on pronunciation are outside the scope of standard PL, and this is the pronunciation I have always used, and I know that the Oxford Dictionary gives it as a variant, -- sieves, rhyming with grieves and thieves, seems to make sense. But then when does the English language make sen...

Re: [HISTORY] The Story of Coventry, by Mary Dormer Harris - availle

Hi Jordan! Thanks so much for your feedback. I figured there were going to be quite a bit to correct, and I appreciate the thoroughness! I've believe I've addressed all of the list, including optional. New run time is 31:27, and I've re-uploaded the file. Kudos to you for having the patience to PL ...
