PL Notes

~10:10 to ~10:24 - repetition: ...and the garrison ... in Flanders.
~17:14 - pron: Beaulieu -> This is not pronounced how it looks; it's actually pronounced 'byoo-lee.'
~17:20 - pron: Warwick -> 'war-rik.' You pronounced it correctly earlier in the reading.

PL OK-ish

Irish pronunciation, like Welsh, sometimes bears no relation to the way words are spelt.

~12:05 - Drogheda (the Irish town where the Parliament took place) is pronounced 'DRAW-huh-duh.' The IPA pronunciation is available on the Wikipedia page.

Most people won't how know how this should be pronounced, but if you do want to impress with proper Irish pronunciation, upload the edited file, should you wish to change it. This section is marked as PL OK either way.

Kerry, this is just the sort of pl suggestion I make when I think a reader might like to impress with accurate pronunciation of a word not from their mother tongue or might be embarrassed if they learn about a mistake later, but this kind of correction is entirely voluntary, not required by Librivox guidelines.

Section 73 ready for PL
https://librivox.org/uploads/annise/historyofengland_073_oman_128kb.mp3
Length 28.20

Just a head-up: At ~0:16 "LibriVox" sounds a little garbled, and for this section you spell out "o r g" instead of saying "org" as in all your other sections.

PL Notes

~6:07 - heard: wrecked -> text: wreaked (rhyme: reek)
~10:32 & ~22:00 - heard: ignomious -> text: ignominious (ig-no-MIN-ee-yus)
~23:12 - heard: Indias -> text: Indis
~27:19 - heard: (Eyre) eye-ree -> pron: air (like Jane Eyre)
