Section 16 PL Notes:
10:41 missing the word 'who' It is necessary that he who instructs others...

11:46 I'm hearing 'catesized' instead of 'catechised' (cat-e-kized) we came to be taught, not to be catechised and examined.

For fastest spot checks, you can copy these notes and change the timestamps to the new time so I know where to check.

Thank you, I will do the corrections and upload it shortly.

Length 15:2.50 (m:ss.ss)

Was more aware of paragraph pauses in editing, hopefully the timing is improved some.
I read this one in a closet draped with blankets to reduce the tinniness coming through the mic.
I will be curious to hear if there is a significant difference in the quality.

Chapters 18 and 19 are PL OK. The recording quality is good

"many difficiles n?, or laborious follies..."
I found it online difficiles nugæ

Link to the page https://archive.org/details/improvementofmind00watt/page/146/mode/2up?view=theater

It's the only obvious tricky one on a scan.
I see Cui bono And I would say as "Quee bone-o" - is that right?
I thought I should ask here, but if it is better to go to the pronunciation threads I will happily head there.
I have googled a few words on how to say them and watched longish tutorials on Latin pronunciation which there is some debate around, so I still am pretty unclear.

There's no wrong answer for Latin phrases. Forvo will often have something helpful.
Do your best with difficiles nugæ. I would pronounce it diff-i-si-less nu-gai but that's just my excentric system.

Okay that's great, no wrong answer works! That site isn't loading the samples just now but I will keep trying, looks like a good resource, thank you.

I'll have a go at chapter 14 then

Here is chapter 10!

Section 10 PL Notes:
Thanks for reading. You have a pleasant clear voice! There were a few points where there were long pauses. I'd say aim to never have a pause longer than 2 seconds.

00:22 Long pause
07:04 Long pause
13:06 Long pause
15:14 Long pause
15:57 Long pause
18:08 Long pause

Great, this is now PL OK! No particular comments from me - the recording quality is very good.

Section 2 PL Notes:
PL OK!

02:39 "Locke" (John Locke) is usually pronounced the same as 'lock'. But since it's a name, it's not a problem unless you would like to change it.
