[COMPLETED] THE STRANGEST THINGS IN THE WORLD - philc

[philchenevert]

lagrange123, I see that section 119 is assigned to you but I can't find any record of you requesting it. Is this correct?

Hi Phil, no I didn't request 119. That's odd...I'm doing 17, 50, and 51 if I recall correctly

Yeah, it's just an error by me.

Hi Phil,
I’ll claim #119.
I looked it over….ummm…I’m in the mood for practicing to untie my tongue. LOL…me thinks my edit button is gonna smoke!!

I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw section 117. I didn't check the warning when I claimed and recorded it, but as it says this work won't enter public domain in Europe until 2037 and I imagine I'll cause less trouble for you asking to have it removed than leaving it as is. Sorry about this, I promise to read all the words put in front of me in the future

Andrea - both sections are PL OK, thank you. The Giant Squid section, in particular, is quite dramatic.

The book is 90% complete.

By the way, I'm about to report clam/dam as possible errata report to Project Gutenberg. The error checking folks there usually respond quickly and can often send a snip from a scan of the original page showing it was a typesetting error in the book. We'll see what turns up.

Jim -
At ~2:10 I hear you read

They spin it and make a wool of it

I happen to know 'woof' and 'warp' are terms used in weaving cloth, so the phrase should probably be

They spin it and make a woof of it

(This is where I reach the end of my knowledge about weaving.)

Second item - the silence at the end of the section should be 5 seconds long - you have close to 2. You should edit 3 more seconds of silence onto the end.

The section is See PL notes for now.

Jim -
Section 147 will be fine after you add approximately 2.5 seconds of silence to the end and upload it again. As with section 88 you didn't include enough closing silence.
See PL notes for now.
