[PROVERBS/BIBLE] Laws from Heaven for Life on Earth, by William Arnot - loa

[Godzilla]

quick question. Are we pronouncing the author's name as Are Not? or Are No?

Any suggestion?

[Godzilla]

Another question. Your MW shows 3438 words in section 0, but my experience is that it's super short! Like 539 words! So. . . am I missing something? Even if I include the table of contents (which we never read), the count only gets to about 1500, so. . . jus' checkin'!

Hello, I'd like to read sections 5-9 please.

I see that you put down another first time reader for only one section to start off, so if you'd like to do the same for me then I'll just take section 9 for now

God bless

The first section is sometimes wrong. It includes a word count from the table of contents.

Welcome to Librivox, Dan!
It would be great to have you record sections 5-9 for this project (Proverbs). It looks like you've just passed your 1 minute test recording which means you are ready to go. Don't forget in all future recordings to make any changes that were suggested when you did the test recording (eg: if you needed to amplify, you'll need to do that for every section you submit).

In order to assign a section to you in the Magic Window (MW) of this project, I've entered you into the database of readers. Your reader page is accessible here and a list of your assigned sections is here (you might want to bookmark it). It's great that you're eager to record but many new users have trouble with their first section so instead of assigning all the sections you requested, I've just done section 9. Once that has been uploaded successfully, I would be more than happy to assign you any other sections you would like.Your claim is confirmed - you have one month to submit section 9. Looking forward to hearing your section and have you help out with this project!

Some common questions that new readers ask:

• Footnotes: They are optional. You can read all, some or none. An easy way to mark them is to say 'footnote' then read the footnote then say 'end footnote'.
• Quotes: You can mark these by saying 'quote' then reading the quote and then saying 'end quote'. You can decide whether to say quote at all - sometimes it will be clear from context. I'd suggest saying it if the quotation spans multiple sentences.
• Non-English phrases: We do have to read them. You could 1) pronounce it however you want 2) post in this thread and ask for someone to record it for you so you can either mimic it or splice it into your own recording 3) try Forvo for individual words or the sound icon on Google Translate for a text to speech version to copy.
• Roman numerals: Read these as their corresponding number.
• Abbreviations: You can choose to expand these or not to. You could say 'e.g' or 'for example'.
• Heading numbering: Sometimes books use roman numerals and digits for two different levels of headings. I think a good solution to this is to say 'first, second' etc. for roman numeral headings (I, II etc.) and 'one, two' etc. for digit headings (1, 2 etc.).

Are Not.

I definitely said this incorrectly in my section.

Did a little digging on the pronunciation. He was Scottish, and I found a Scottish soccer player with the same last name.

Announcer says her name in this highlight reel at (0:45)

Great sleuthing! "Are not" it is then!

I've turned 0 (zero) already so I'll have to fix it after PLing unless you want me to do it now. The others (1, 2) have the author name as "are not".

Thanks!

[DanSampson490]

Hey, just wondering if I need to wait for PL on my first section before recording more. Looking forward to it.

[Godzilla]

So. . . I might as well sign up for 5-8 while I'm here, if you'd like me to do them.

Did you see that I uploaded 0 (zero) already? I didn't see it marked as such in the MW so just thought I should check.

Should have 3 and 4 for you pretty quick here. That's all for now!

Here is my first little section. Hope to be back for more down the line.
