Some very impressive pronouncing, Linda. I particularly admired your "Przubliski" (though perhaps your take on Gaelic names left something to be desired).

PL OK.

Ha! and Thanks Barbara! Well I'm happy to report that on the Gaelic, since I'm clueless as to those 'crazy' spellings, I sought expert help, and was advised to say it that way! Sorry if they're not up to snuff -- should have asked you Actually, if you can give me some explicit corrections I'd really like to make them; I would much prefer that the recording be 'perfect', considering the subject matter. What say you?

Eeeeek!!! Linda, I was so impressed by your pronunciations of surnames of all those provenances. Your care really paid off.

I was kidding about the Gaelic. My specialty is pronouncing the Australian dialect of English

Best,

Linda:

Thank you for Section 43. I'm sorry the advice I gave you on Gaelic was not perfect, but it was the best I had and based on information I gleaned from other Librivoxers.

Hope you're having a Merry Christmas!

Many thanks,

Philip

Perfect! PL OK. And while you're still celebrating and feasting, I'm recovering.

Oh Philip, Barbara said she was just kidding - your advice was correct and the pronunciations were fine! It's been a lovely Christmas here; hope yours is Merry & Bright!

Doing great so far, Linda! Glad yours is merry, too.
