User talk:Neskaya
So, two things. If you have a disagreement with an audio file that I have recorded for pronunciation, please, I don't mind it being brought up but you're unlikely to get a response. My stock response is that the file uploaded is in fact how I say the word, and although I grew up speaking English, I speak a rather lot of other languages as well and will not say that I have anything resembling a standard accent of any sort, although I have a rather clear accent, for the most part. If you think that you can do it better, go for it, otherwise request another person who does them to rerecord; for the most part, it's recorded how I say it and I can't actually get it to however you're trying to tell me to say it. I need a template for this response, but in the mean time, have a message at the top of the talk page.
Easy warning: I'm not fond of on wiki discussion fora, and if you really want to talk to me, you're better off going onto IRC. That said, I try and respond to this when I have the energy to, and I do read it.

[edit] Duly
Well, after reading the "disclaimer" and other response you made about pronunciation I feel that I'm writing in vain, but still... I must point out that in this particular case I hear "guly". I can clearly hear "g" sound at the start of the word. You don't have to reply if you're going to copy/paste your standard answer, but just tell me... do you really hear "d" sound in this recording? Maybe the case is that you've started the recording after you already started saying the word, or you just edited out too much of the start of the recording? --RockyMM 08:17, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- I clearly hear "duly". I played it over and over and tried to imagine it saying "guly", but I could not hear a g-. —Stephen (Talk) 01:20, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

- It does, in fact, say "duly", and thank you Stephen for checking that for me. But really, like the disclaimer says, if you don't like it or don't agree with it, RockyMM, please feel free to record your own. However, d/g is NOT a switch that I've been known to make (and yes, I have been known to make a few mistakes in the past, but this is not one of them), so whatever you thought you heard? I have no clue why you thought so. :) Secondly, I've moved the file out of the header for this section because it was breaking the way that my browser rendered it. --Neskaya … gawonisgv? 01:10, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
