Probably. Which explains why all the comments are positive. She is blocking any too critical.


So I'm assuming my comment about broad t and d isn't showing up there either?

Redwolf


Nope, that's bad sign that the author of the video doesn't accept constructive criticism!

No, no sign of it. I also posted again, logged-out and checked. Comments must be censored, as the new one didn’t show up

In which case, the only way to deal with her video is to downvote it. It may seem a little harsh, but if she's not willing to have constructive discussions then she's wasting her own work -- we don't want her video being put out in front of people as a model to follow without qualification.

I wrote an e-mail to the author of the video to tell her how to correct all the things that were wrong, she thanked me, but actually she didn't make the video again to correct the mistakes.

Actually, my comment is still there. It's a few comments in.

That's odd, I can't find a comment asking about the pronunciation of -d- or -t- at all?

When I log in, it says there are 43 comments. However, when I click to read those 43 comments, it only lists 40.

So, where are the other 3 gone?

Odd. When I go to the link I gave (which launches the video), my comment from five days ago is the third from the top. For those who don't know my real name, it's under "Audrey Nickel" and here's what it says:

"Generally good, but I'd like to hear the distinction between broad "t" and "d" and the English sounds of these letters, which really is quite different. In all three dialects, broad "t" and "d" are pronounced with the tongue against the back of the top teeth, which gives them a very different sound from the English letters, which are pronounced with the tongue tipping off the hard palate."

I don't see any other negative comments, though.
