Now try saying "social security". Did you say "so-shal" or "so-sal"? :mrgreen: I say it 'so-shal' I've actually never heard it pronounced 'so-sal' 8-) I didn't know people might pronounce it like that! I have never heard anyone mispronounce the word "social" ...

Ah, letter 37 is awesome! I won't say anything revealing to the letter as some of us probably haven't read it yet, but I will say that Marillin is a tricky character! I can't wait to see how this develops

Ooh, great! I'll read it right now!

Alright, here is my Chapter 32. I think that the geese thing was because I did the noise reduction poorly. I usually have two noises I have to reduce: so first the background noise, then the furnace noise, in this case though, I must have done it in reverse; 1st the furnace noise, and then the back...

I say it 'so-shal' I've actually never heard it pronounced 'so-sal' I didn't know people might pronounce it like that!

I will sort this all out later, I will need to listen to the files. Anne Jaykitty76 must have forgot to put in the new link From my experience, the MW replaces any new uploads of the same filename, so that's why I didn't replace the link. Eric's filename may have been slightly different, however (h...

Oh my gosh that's so funny! I've never done that before...haha You're very used to recording, I can see!

OK, I've edited chapter 2:

Amplified by 5. Running time is 6:11.

Chapter 2 - Hi JayKitty! Great reading! :thumbs: One technical issue to correct, your volume is low at 85.5, it should be between 86 and 92. There are a few stumbles, nothing major. 4:21 - Stumble - "but then" "but just then" 5:13 - Stumble on phrase In eastern Massachusetts Tha...

Is John trying to get the house also, or just money? I'm inclined to think he doesn't want the house, because it has too many associations with his family. But then, maybe he just wants it for the prestige and increasing his net wealth, while he plans to reside elsewhere. It makes a difference, bec...

Oh yes, and I hope no one is bothered by my use of the term Mongoloid. Of course, now it is in extremely poor taste, if not downright offensive, but at that time, it was simply a descriptive word. I will change it if you all prefer, but that does seem to me the most likely way that Marillin would d...

The other possibility that I had considered was that perhaps Jane wrote the letter, but Marillin didn't allow her to send it, because it too explicitly named the perpetrators. On the other hand, I don't understand how John could expect to escape punishment. He must be known in order to receive anyt...

Say the word " Edited ", 10 times. How do you say it? I know I'm not saying it right, I say it like " edided ". Do you pronounce it with a "t" or "d"? :?: Yes, I say it like 'edided' too. (I can't really say 'edited' 10 times, since I have an issue with stutt...

I think I'd like another Chapter 32 in the project (Anne PM'ed me about it). It's simple fixes, and I don't want to have wasted lomond's time

Thank you <smile>

I don't quite understand your request. You mean, you'd like the chapter back?
