Another very funny chapter by Morley. I will be looking up to see what else he has done.
And very nicely read it is.

I have a suggestion to offer, which doesn't relate to the content of your reading exactly, which I will mark as PL OK. I notice a fair number of clicks throughout your recording (they'll show up on your waveform as straight up and down lines). I used to be plagued by those myself. It's not super-serious, but it is a tiny bit distracting. There is a downloadable Audacity plugin you can use to eliminate those, called a De-Clicker. (The link to the download file is at the end of the first post on that page.) I find it quite miraculous in getting rid of those clicks. If you have questions about how to install it, I can probably help, but please note, this is entirely optional.

Cheers,
Winnifred

Thank you. I have been removing Ts and Ks by hand and it gets tedious. I will give this a try.

Editing has taken longer than I thought, just thought I would check in and say I'm still working on my chapters :D

No problem, Shayan. Thanks for the update. Editing always seems to take longer than I think it will.
