Self-paced WHAT?

A colleague in Pittsburgh just e-mailed my coworker here about the resources we have for students' pronunciation work. But the actual sentence went:

Needless to say, neither of us read that as "pronunciation" the first time through.

the "sing along" variety of tape, instructing folks to do what they see? I certainly imagine that would require some heavy self-pacing features. Those Pr0n stars have the stamina of machines (or actually take long breaks between scenes).

I can't believe I responded to this entry.
