;Weird mispronunciations

Mechanical computer reading also weirdly mispronounces some proper names of people and even some ordinary words, such as s o w, "to sow", in sowing seed, as if it is the word s o w with the sound of "ow" instead, pronouncing it as the word for a female pig or bear, "a sow". For example, the name Onesimus is read by the computer as "One sime us". For this reason phonetic spellings have been substituted when necessary on the visual display of the adaptive page for the sake of proper pronunciation by the Read aloud and Read out loud audio functions of the computer. In the particular case of the computer misreading the name of Onesimus the visual spelling of his name is rendered "O-nessymus". Charism is mechanically read wrongly with a soft "c h" by the computer as if it's the name of a belief in burning things until they are completely charred called "char-ism", when it should be pronounced with the hard form of "c h" as "care-ism". The name of Decebalus in text drawn from Suetonius in this Harmony is rendered phonetically on the page as "Desseb Al us". Spaces are used in this instance instead of hyphens. A similar technique of phonetic adaptation is made for other names of people and places, so the computer audio reading will say it right. Some purists will object to the rendering of Bible names and places in their popular forms as normally heard and used by the common person instead of according to their academically proper reading according to the original languages in Hebrew, Aramaic, Egyptian and Greek. While this encyclopedic feature is intended to be educational, it is not intended to confuse the ordinary reader unfamiliar with the linguistically proper pronunciation of them. This will seem to some to be a guilty perpetuation of an error of ignorant convention. The Message of the Gospel is of more paramount importance, and such a purist audio reading would confront the ordinary listener with a serious distraction having nothing to do with the fundamental Gospel Message that Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord, and only through Him can anyone have the totally free gift of Eternal Life in God, which cannot be earned by anything we do or have done, and will continue to have only by faithfully doing what He Says with works that are pleasing to Him and the Father and the Holy Spirit that will stand the test of fire that will test every man's work in the [[Last Judgment]].

American usage is the standard here instead of the European forms. For example the word "Emmaus" is pronounced either as "Em-may-us" or as "Em-mouse": the first form is here preferred and used as the adapted phonetic form for the narrative rendering of the text. Occasionally the reader and listener will disagree with the audio adapted forms used in this Harmony of the Gospel Conservative Version narrative form. They may be right. Popular usage is not always correct but it is the more accepted form for common understanding of the meaning. The more serious student of the Bible will sooner or later encounter the accurate pronunciation of ancient biblical forms, and is strongly encouraged to adopt them.
