I think you're doing a fine job. Don't let the people who are taking knit-picky potshots at you, bother you.

[MarthaDelios]

Also, paralipsis (it's actually on the screen), also paraleipsis ; proslepsis

[MarthaDelios]

There's a problem with the rendering of the names of the rhetorical tropes(or strategies) to which the speaker is referring at the beginning of the lecture:

0:00:59 (et seq.), the Greek word is spelt apophasis (not apophysis, not apophasia); the Latin word is spelt 'occultatio'; and the other term for personification is prosopopoeia.
