Hey Dave,

In chapter 8, Ploegsteert is misspelled as "Ploegstreet", which means that the pronunciation would change. Do you want me to pronounce it correctly, or go with it pronounced as Ploegstreet? It is a village in Belgium.

Obvious typos can be corrected.

He has it misspelled 3 or 4 times, so I assume that the soldiers got the pronunciation wrong (street is much more familiar than steert), and then the author of this chapter wrote it wrong.

The two names for the towns seem to be nearly unpronounceable. I tried half a dozen different places on the 'net to get the pronunciation and none of them seem to match what the spelling looks like.

11 PL OK.

Pronunciations vary from one region to another so I wouldn't worry about it.
