Problematic Sentence Structure

Problematic Sentence Structure

The first sentence in this paragraph (horrible run-on that it was) contained OVER 70 WORDS; whereas the second and third contained 6 and 9 words respectfully. I mention this because it was quite a challenge to determine when to insert the correct punctuation (i.e., period versus a comma) during this dictation. In short, this was by far the worse dictation to listen to and attempt to discern (by the speaker's intonation) when to insert ending punctuation! Please do better.

Hola Pati

We revised this dictation and shortened the sentences adding more punctuation. I hope it helps.

Saludos cordiales
