I have mine ready to go, but I don't see Foon in the upload menu. Should I upload it to MaryAnn's as well?

Thanks Foon!

Um... I have a newbie question. I was looking through the text and there was this line, "...the old woman took it from the fire and would have eaten it; but she could not, it was so salt and bitter". I wasn't sure if "salt" instead of "salty" was a grammatical error or just a usage that I'm not familiar with. I was thinking if I should just read as it is, and also wanted to ask what the common practice is when we encounter possible errors. Do we always stay true to the text or is it something that's up to the reader?

Hi there,

Thanks for asking!
In general, we adhere to the text as best we can, without changing anything. If something unambiguously is a printing error (e.g. it would say "priinting error"), you can correct it, but otherwise, we don't. After all, language has evolved a lot over time and the way people wrote 100 years ago was rather different from what we do now; it could just as well be that "so salt and bitter" was the proper way back then. When in doubt, it is always best to adhere to the text. So in this case, just go with what is written.

Pixxol,

Section 9 is beautifully read!

(Sorry that PL took a while!) I have two comments:

12:15 I hear "devoid to battle and the chase", the text reads "devoted to battle and the chase"
14:27-end: Looks like you have re-recorded some phrases for editing at the end of the story. (I think they all sound excellent

) Could you cut those down to 1 version?

Annalisa,

Section 11 is beautifully read

It is PL OK!

(sorry for the delay in PL!)
