mebbe they had a code in their node...

I'm sure that Labial Plosive and the Fricatives will have some real information for you...

Maybe because they're not polyglots?

sedence

Maybe the announcer had a cold.

Welcome to the chopped liver club, eta

I'm sorry about the whole can o' peas, eta. I was in chat mode, not in pay attention and be serious about words mode. Imagine my embarassment if only I weren't an AI?

sedence

I guess it could mean she'll be sitting this one out.

sitting this one out

The one that drives my mom wild is taking a "picher".
