Some people have spoken language processing delays that are exacerbated by slight anxiety about these delays (ex: the pharmacist asks me my children's birth dates and my mind goes blank for a second. I have no trouble when the question is posed in writing.) . It isn't always something that you can train yourself not to do. It's pretty common in school kids who can demonstrate knowledge in writing but not out loud.

Maybe not with my name but when people ask my age I'm often like that, and I don't think I ever forget how old I am really.hbiden@onlyfans.com wrote: Wed Jan 24, 2024 11:30 amname please?
"ummm.... singh."

you have to train yourself not to do it, but it's a good habit that will give you confidence in that next job interview.
Ha!Anthony Flack wrote: Wed Jan 24, 2024 5:17 pm Yeah, everybody's fuckin' begging the question these days. You're a philosophy guy so I bet that's extra annoying. Nobody raises a question or is led to ask a question any more. Everybody's begging that question, using that phrase that doesn't mean what they think it means, until eventually the language has to give up and say FINE WHATEVER it does mean that too now, I guess. Way to go guys, you've screwed philosophy.
Idea for T-shirt: THAT'S NOT WHAT BEGGING THE QUESTION MEANS
Another idea for T-shirt: YOU'RE NOT DISINTERESTED, YOU'RE UNINTERESTED
Also, a prequel is something that is made after the first one but deals with events from before. It is NOT the thing that was made before the sequel.
ALSO also, and I'm looking at you Youtubers, a BIO PIC is a biographical picture. It is not two opics, so why you gotta call it a Bi Opic?

But bio-pic is an ENGLISH contraction. Surely they're familiar with a bio and a pic.A_Man_Who_Tries wrote: Thu Jan 25, 2024 12:55 amHow do you pronounce helicopter?Anthony Flack wrote: Wed Jan 24, 2024 5:17 pm ALSO also, and I'm looking at you Youtubers, a BIO PIC is a biographical picture.
