the name should probably best be spelled as "new found" rather than "new fun" (lol) but not so in the fragments where the ethymology of the name is not mentioned.... Thoughts?The name "Newfoundland" lends itself to this view; for in the letters-patent of 1498 the expression "Londe and iles of late founde," and the wording of the award recorded in the King's privy-purse accounts, August 10, 1497, "To hym that founde the new ile £I0," seem naturally to suggest the island of Newfoundland of our day; and this impression is strengthened by reading the old authors, who spell it, as Richard Whitbourne in 1588, "New-found-land,"
I think that you are correct in your assumption, that when you are reading the parts talking about where the name comes from, to pronounce it as "New-Found-Land" instead of the modern (?) pronunciation. But, when reading the name in the other parts, you might want to stay with :New-Fun-Land." (And, yes, English is just weird all around!)Piotrek81 wrote: ↑September 5th, 2021, 2:07 am I'm about to start recording my section on the Cabots and while pre-reading I came across an interesting problem. Much attention is being given in one portion of the text to the area of Newfoundland, whose name, contrary to the actual spelling of the word, is apparently pronounced as "newfunland" these days (because, you know, English spelling weird ). The thing is the author actually goes over the meaning of the "newfound" part as an evidence that this may have been the place where the Cabots first landed. Which makes me wonder if I should spell the name differently depending on the context.
For example in the following fragment:the name should probably best be spelled as "new found" rather than "new fun" (lol) but not so in the fragments where the ethymology of the name is not mentioned....

This one should be section 23, so the intro and outro need to be changed to "section 23." Otherwise, everything else is great!icequeen wrote: ↑September 6th, 2021, 7:43 pmjenno wrote: ↑September 6th, 2021, 6:41 pm Here is section 25
