I agree with you. See my recent log for other documentaries........jeffers
the captions were auto-generated. Is this true of all of the episodes? My experience with auto-generated CC's has been poor, but I suppose they would have a better chance of getting it right in a documentary.

Re: Carmody's Log for French
Oui j'ai déjà vu quelques vidéos de 'passe-moi les jumelles'. Ce sont des vidéos intéressantes, si peut-être un peu idéaliste, et pas trop longues ! J'ai regardé une des videos qui a porté sur un 'fanfare' (or 'brass band' in English) qui m'intéressait parce que j'ai joué du cornet quand j'étais plus jeune.
Est-ce que tu utilises jamais les sous-titres ?Je les utilise, mais ils sont des traduits automatiquement et parfois n'ont pas du tout de sens !
Is it okay to post in French on your log ? If anything I can get people to see and fix my errors!

Pedantry is properly the over-rating of any kind of knowledge we pretend to.

Always nice to get your input but maybe best not to use this thread for corrections on your French. If I am not mistaken, I believe you already have one thread up for that purpose.

Since I often don't seem to be able to agree with the crowd when it comes to the greats of French literature (ie, Proust, etc.) I thought I might go a step further and speak glowingly about an author that I just reread after a couple years away: L'Amant by Marguerite Duras. She is an author who is widely scorned and dismissed in her own country.
The movie based on this book was nice and having maybe 30% similarity to the book, but the book itself has passages of real poetry in prose. I find the rhythms, insights, and poignancy of this book to be both beautiful and powerful.
Rereading the book also helps to refresh the vocabulary.

Re: Carmody's Log for French
FYI, recently I added the "ScaleImg" button to the text editor. So now for image links (not attachments) you can resize the linked image.
To do this, click the "ScaleImg=" button then put the link inside it. After the equals sign, you put the scale you want in pixels. For the above I used 100,150 with 100 being the width and 150 the height.

Apologies for bothering you but my code doesn't bring up the image the way it did for you. Could you tell me where I went wrong?
Thanks.
