Somebody want to come up with the word list for more pronunciation recordings?

Okay, you've got it.  

I'd like a usable list by let's say noon on 18-Sep-2004; if you want
to keep on after that, adding to the list, there probably will be
ongoing need for the list for a while yet.

While I forgot to say so initially, I did intend to suggest you should
accept suggestions from others, and I'm glad to see you proposing that
approach :-). 

Don't forget the job includes checking the spelling in at least one
book!  And don't forget to grab the words already in the guide but
without recorded pronunciations.
