Avis des utilisateurs
Attention
I listen to all the episodes. I agree that American English (if that’s what it is) can be grating. I also wonder if the copy is proofread.
Does anyone proof-listen to these??
I normally really like these podcasts, and while some readers are better than others, I like the variety.
But I just listened to the episode about coal mining in Appalachia and it was pretty bad. I’m not a fan of the habit of saying ‘ff’ instead of ‘th’ at the end of words (like saying “forff’ for ‘forth’ of whatever), and when the guy said ‘reprive’ (long I sound) instead of ‘reprieve’ (long e sound), I thought it was just a slip.
It wasn’t until the reader said “Grenwitch’ (pronouncing the W) instead of ‘Grenich’ (silent W) about a zillion times that I started wondering how the heck these readers are chosen. The guy’s accent was American. How do you grow up in the US not knowing how to pronounce the name of Connecticut's state capital?
Seemed particularly unprofessional for an org like The Guardian.
Best Newspaper
The Guardian is imo the best news source for the English speaker in today’s world. I find their scope of coverage to be far larger and their analysis to be somewhat deeper than most global outlets available today digitally and otherwise. They could improve on their reporting on North Korea—yes.
