I'll take Section 3!

Hi OSAM!

Before you record for this project it is required that you complete a 1-minute test. This helps ensure that you have everything set up correctly and that your audio is at the correct levels which saves you from having to re-record files for projects like this one. Here is the wiki page on how to record, upload, and receive feedback on your 1-minute test:
http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test

Also, if you haven't already seen it, the Newbie Guide to Recording is a page you should read through:
http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Newbie_Guide_to_Recording

Once you have an OK-ed 1-minute test, stop back here and claim a section. Thank you!

Jill

Thought I might as well get my two sections posted:

Haven't been to Java, but I have seen the tea plantations in Darjeeling. Very impressive!
And, I apologize for my poor French in Section 5. Should have worked harder on that during my years in Haiti.

Such fun travels you have had, Larry! Thank you for your sections. Jordan should be along sometime soon to take a listen to them.

And, I apologize for my poor French in Section 5. Should have worked harder on that during my years in Haiti.

For Section 2:

8:34: Repetition of 'and having a sieve'
8:36: 'sieve' in "and having a sieve in the centre" is pronounced 'siv'
8:54: 'sieves' in "Then it is passed through sieves, to separate the different qualities from each other", see above

Section 5 is PL OK

Usually variations on pronunciation are outside the scope of standard PL, and this is the pronunciation I have always used, and I know that the Oxford Dictionary gives it as a variant, -- sieves, rhyming with grieves and thieves, seems to make sense. But then when does the English language make sense? I'll be doing corrections tomorrow, so I'll do some more research on this.

Hmm, after doing more research (I did check a couple of dictionaries, and several clips from YouGlish, to see if it was a pronuciation I was unaware of before I made my comment), you are right, it's not an unknown pronunciation. You can keep it as it is if that's how you'd normally say it.

[silverquill]

Well, after checking quite a few pronunciation guides, there seems to be a universal consensus for "siv" as the most accepted pronunciation. And, the final arbiter, my wife, agrees, so I have forthwith made the corrections and now consider myself more educated.
And, a coin for anyone who can find another English word where "ie" has a short "i" sound.

Thanks, as always, for your good PL.

Thanks, Larry! I have always thought it was pronounced "see-ve" but in English TV I've heard it lots of times as "siv". I think it's fine either way. I appreciate your attention to detail in doing your own pronunciation research.

PL OK

And if you want another 'ie' making the KIT vowel, there's 'mischief', though you will often hear that with the FLEECE vowel (in the UK, at least). And 'mischievous' can be either 'MIS-chiv-us' or 'mis-CHEEV-ee-us'. A recent Dr Geoff Lindsey video looked into this.

[silverquill]

Excellent, Jordan! Another then comes to mind - "kerchief" which I do here pronounced both ways.
Now, try teaching English to a school room full of Koreans - quite a challenge. This is made even more interesting if one of your companion teachers is from the UK, South Africa, or even from the US south!

great, thanks
