Benny, gradvol, weijzhou, and anyone else who might like to PL - I've talked to knotyouraveragejo, and since we only have a limited number of chapters left, we've decided we're not going to try to establish a Dedicated Proof Listener for this project. Instead, let's just continue to work chapter by chapter. If you'd like to PL a particular chapter, please post a claim on it in the thread so we won't duplicate efforts. (We don't necessarily have to work in order. If you'd like a short chapter, feel free to pick it) As of now the following chapters are available:
Chapter 12
Chapter 13
Chapter 14
Chapter 15
Chapter 16
Chapter 17
Chapter 18
Thank you!

Also -- not all proof listeners do this, but I really find it a big time-saver and am very grateful when PLs include page numbers from the text with their notes -- for example "changed the word "about" to "around" (top of page 360)"ktaylor07 wrote: ↑May 23rd, 2020, 5:31 amThese notes are fine. I like for my readings to be as good as they can be. I'm a little dyslexic and when I get into the emotion of the text and start reading fast, I begin to make a lot of small errors like these. Many prooflisteners just let these go by because they do not change the meaning of the sentences, but I don't mind going back and making corrections. Sometimes my unconscious substitutions can really mess up the sense of what the author's trying to say -- and that's a real problem.Benny wrote: ↑May 22nd, 2020, 7:21 pm Thank you very much!!!
I read the instruction of standard PL but it is not that clear so I am not sure some of the mistakes need to be noted or not,
so I guess I will just put them down. Sorry...
01:11 adding of the word "him" (there is no "him" in the text)
01:17 changed the word "must" to "might" (It is "must" in the text)
02:59 changed “all the world" to "the whole world" (In the text it is "...all the world,")
07:42 missing a word "has"
10:09 changed the word "breast" to "chest"( It is "breast" in the text)
11:47 changed the word "about" to "around" (It is "about" in the text)
and the rest are good I think
Big things you need to look for in my recordings are that my little computer can lag and cause words to be clipped or skipped so that I need to re-record. Also sometimes when I catch my own mistakes and have to start over on a sentence, the program lags and leaves a pause in the middle of the sentence that I need to go back and cut. Also, sometimes I stutter a little on some words and don't realize that I've done it as well.
I'll get these changes posted soon so you can spot check them -- Good work!

Hi Kelly,
Seeing no claims for Chapter 13, I have PLed the short section.
However, it was such a pleasure to listen to your recording that I went ahead and PLed Chapter 14 as well.
Please forgive me for not claiming the Chapters in advance.
The PL Notes are as follows:
Chapter 13:
4:34 – Repeat “Why are you yelling in that… in that frantic fashion?” (Pg 266)
4:50.5 – Misread “without waiting for her to reappear” instead of “her to appear” (Pg 266)
9:10 – Misread “feebly muttered: Sylvie” instead of “feebly murmured: Sylvie” (Pg 269)
Chapter 14:
3:03 – Misread “investigate a cause so remarkable” instead of “investigate a case so remarkable” (Pg 276)
4:58.5 – Misread “unworthy of a grave disciple of Escapulus” instead of “disciple of Esculapius” (Pg 277)
6:25 – Missing word “silent” in “That he recognized the well-known but long-silent tones” (Pg 278)
12:23.5 – Misread “a pair of white satin slippers” instead of “a pair of satin slippers” (Pg 282)
14:33 – Misread “expiated upon their beauty” instead of “expatiated upon” (Pg 284)
27:38.5 – Misread “unpraised by the woman she loved” instead of “unpraised by the man” (Pg 293)

Some good catches here -- especially the one where I accidentally said "the woman she loved" instead of the "man she loved." I think that might have had quite a few listeners scratching their heads at that point in the story...
Corrected files are posted and ready for spot PL
Okay, as of now, here's how we stand:

Chapter 15 weijzhou
Chapter 16 weijzhou
Chapter 17

14:26 changing the word “the” to “this” (It is “the” in the text)
14:58 adding a word “same” (there is no “same” in the text)
They are just some small errors. There might be some mistakes in the text. The first one should have subject "Honorine".

Still, there might be some mistake in the text. There should be "he" instead of "lie". I like the tone you use!
If you don't mind, I can do chapter 17 and 18 as well.

Please go ahead with Chapters 17 and 18. I will work on these corrections.
And now:

Chapter 17 weijzhou
Chapter 18 weijzhou
Almost there!!
This the sort of thing I want you to look for. The only thing I ask is that I'd like you to include the page number of the error as well, please.
