There is more than that problem with Dave's work...I use it to compare, not as a Bible to read or study. For that, I use the Peshitta/Peshitto texts themselves...then consult the various translations to get more light, when it is obscure. Over time, it's not hard to see the many bugs in the water....so, what I do, instead of throwing out the whole bucket of water...I just am careful not to eat the bugs and have a good drink of the pure water. And I'll point those bugs out to others who would like to have a drink of it too.
The only way I know of being able to read through Magiera's translation (which is very good, so far as I have seen), is by downloading the free Nook app from Barnes & Noble, and then adding the translation to the Library.
Here is the link to the free download app for PC

When the free download is finished, search in the window for Peshitta, and you will see both Janet Magiera's and Dave Bauscher's translations available for 9.99 each. Dave has a few editions there, but to get his latest edition there, make sure you click on the one with the 2012 date (5th Edition). I just added it to my Nook Library, so I can compare it with Janet's translation, which I say is much more faithful to the Aramaic text.
