Talk:blame

Audio pronunciation not correct?

• File:en-us-blame.ogg

When I listen to this file, I hear /weɪm/, not /bleɪm/. Sure, I'm french, my pronunciation of English is awful, but I would be pleased if you could check that. --ArséniureDeGallium 18:01, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

It's fine. Equinox ◑ 18:02, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Fine means correct (1: free from errors)? OK, in this case it is fine for me. :-) --ArséniureDeGallium 18:04, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

It may not meet the highest standard for audio quality and clarity. I am somewhat hearing impaired (tinnitus) and don't get the "bl" very clearly in this instance. I have had similar problems with some other pronunciation files. DCDuring TALK 18:18, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
