Hi Tricia,

Is it okay to change the level of PLing from Standard to word-perfect?

The thing is I like the PLer to be open with me about pronunciation mistakes, missing sentences, and any feedback to improve my recordings.

I've asked Jennifer and she is okay with word-perfect too.

Thanks!!
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

Or you can change it to "special", and note what you want them to check. Word-Perfect is really strict.

Okay. Just edit the first thread, right?

One more thing, I've found that there is a summary of the book at the end of the Gutenberg version. Would you consider this as a Public Domain?

Yes, and yes. :) Just edit the first post, and that summary would be PD since it was published in the PD book. 8-) I'll stick it in the database as is, unless you want to make any changes to it.

Thanks! Nope, I won't make any changes to it.

As I've already removed that part from the summary. But if you want to keep the whole thing, I don't mind.
We heartily commend this book as interpretative of the higher teaching. A most suitable gift book.
The original summary is this

I think it's better to just use the part you originally quoted. :)

Got it :thumbs:

Sorry, one final question. Summary by The Psychic Research Company or Gutenberg?
Thanks, SaraHale. :D
