I normally don't correct on pronunciation, just because English words can be pronounced differently in different parts of the world. The only exception might be place names, and that is very rare. I think your approach to these is fine!redrun wrote: ↑August 18th, 2022, 12:50 pmAlso, for PL: I realize the policy is not to comment on pronunciation, but if you happen to know the pronunciations of these proper nouns, I would really be glad of correction!redrun wrote: ↑August 17th, 2022, 9:00 pm Chapter 7 is up, duration 25m30s

I did some searching for each, but have never needed to pronounce them before.
Liege - lee-ayhz, not the same as feudal liege
Nimeguen - NYE-may-gen, found from another book at Librivox, since I don't see this spelling of the name in modern use.
Boufflers - BOOF-lers, which I feel silly saying.

Whoops!
I just realized now that I was sending you my rough unedited version, and not the finished product!
So I was just re-doing a lot of edits... Sorry about that.

I'll be out for a bit on this last weekend of April, but still checking in as I get the chance. I will try to follow up on Monday, with anything I can't do on the go.
