17:50: I think this footnote is supposed to be at 16:42
12:13 (not required): 'victuals' in "The assize of bread, ale and victuals was to be kept by the mayor" should be pronounced 'VIT-uhls'

I made the decision to put it at the end because the last two paragraphs are still talking about the trial, but if you think it causes confusion for the listener, it's easily moved.

I don't want to start a dictionary war, but...
Usage Note: Victual is properly pronounced (vĭt'l), with two syllables and no (k) sound. It was borrowed in the 1300s from the Old French form vitaille, which had stress and a diphthong in the second syllable, but the word was Anglicized after that to put the stress up front in the manner of most native English words. The spelling with c (and a little later with u) has a long history too, in both French and English. This spelling is a learned one, showing off the knowledge that the word came from Late Latin victuālia, "provisions." The word is now usually spelled victual, or on occasion vittle, but the pronunciation has remained (vĭt'l).
But as I said, it's an optional change. If you're happy with it as is, then no need to re-record.

Was just making sure you hadn't accidentally edited it wrong. If that was where you wanted it, then leave it there.

With much regret, life events make it impossible for me to continue with this solo project. Please open it up to other readers.

PL OK. Sorry, been busy recently.

Oh, and I'm happy to stay on as DPL if this becomes an open project.

I'm very sorry, I missed this one. :oops:
If nothing happens, feel free to send me a pm at any time.

It's not a problem to open this up as a group project.
Anyone of you up for the BC spot?
Cheers, Ava.
