Still, I'm glad to have this recording done so that more people can enjoy what the emperor himself had to say. Yah00t! :clap: :clap:

Leon,

I am totally with you an this (which I why I took the hour long Section 14 ramble). But now we have, in addition, a guide for pronunciation of Latin names...

Will try to PL today.

Thanks a bunch,
TTM

:hmm: Where is this guide for Latin names? I'd be happy to list it on the pronunciation wiki. (BTW, I later checked out a copy of "Merriam-Webster's Biographical Dictionary" from the library and it had pronunciations listed for every name in my recording. Coulda saved me a lot of time, and as it turns out I mispronounced a few names... :cry: :cry:) Oh well.. thanks for the PL! And thanks for BCing this project.. I am one of the many who looks forward to listening to the completed work.
I remember how, in college, I got that part-time job as a circus clown, and how the children would laugh and laugh at me. I vowed, then and there, that I would get revenge.

Leon,

I was implying that we could extract it from your chapter :wink: , but now that you've owned up to chipdoccing the file, we'll need to keep looking :lol:

TTM --

I'll proof this myself, just so we don't have to wait around.

Caet & Leon,

It's perfect up to minute 42, if you want to pick it up from there (though I suspect there was a bit of chipdoccing ~ minute 33 :P )

Haha, I know what part you're talking about.. with the Latin and all. Actually I carefully followed "Latin Pronunciation Demystified," an online guide to Latin pronunciation, and I looked up all the words in a Latin dictionary to see which vowels were long. But I am terrrrrrible at rrrrolling my r's, as you can probably tell from my attempt at "terrentur." But oh well, I'm going to learn Latin someday anyway. :)

I've got to wonder, though.. if you did the first 42 minutes, why didn't you do the last 55 seconds? I took a quick listen, and can confirm that I did not goof up at the finish line. That is, there are no errors in the last minute, and so it is PL-OK. Caet, you can confirm that if you'd like.

Leon,

Sorry about that...I thought it was 47 minutes (don't know why), and I was listening to the last part in the car. :oops:

Anyway, great read...let's get this cataloged. :thumbs: :thumbs:

Thanks much,
TTM

Yep, it's in the Mysterious Validator - if all goes well it'll be cataloged tonight (before I go to work, hopefully)

TTM - do me a favor and run a quick check on the page to make sure I got the info correct? I was trying to edit as I went (the validator automatically calls things "chapters" and that wasn't true for some sections of the book) but if I got it wrong let me know so I can fix it. :)
