Grammar Nazi reporting in with a list! The items are fairly minor, but I’ll start with what I think you’ll find most important and work down from there. 1. Jack Bona-VEE-ta, the animal trainer; you mispronounced “bear”. Since you are so interested in them, I thought I’d better make sure that you knew that it’s pronounced the same way as “bare”.you pronounced it as “beer”, the drink. 2.Buffalo Bill Cody.You pronounced “Cody” as “Cawdy”. It’s pronounced the way it looks with the “o” being pronounced like the letter “o”. My grandmother got to see his Wild West Show as a little girl in the 1890’s. 3.The French names usually have the accent on the last syllable. OcTAVE MirBEAU and George’s DemeNEE. 4.The pesky VW problem. I’m tempted to call them Volkswagen errors, since we call the cars, “VW’s in the USA. Walter Hale became “Valter” Hale. Nat M. Wills became Nat M. “Vills”. and Matt Snyder became a Civil War “weteran”. I know you said that the conditions had not been too favorable for recording; but that’s the time you have to be extra vigilant. Sorry for being a picky nag; but I’ve noticed your videos are getting interrupted by commercials. I’m betting it’s because the audience is getting big enough for advertisers to consider it worthwhile to try to sell their product(s) on your site. They see quality and they want to be associated with it. I don’t blame them!!!😊❤
Bronchitis is a bad way to go. I had it and if it wasn't for the antibiotics I wouldn't be here
