say pen. Well, you all say it right, and I say, so,
the thing you're write with is a pen is a pen.
And the thing that you put on your shirt is
a is a pen.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It is not see I say it the same way
as putting a ballpoint pin in your pocket, and this
is talking about a pin.

what I can't pronounce. You we went through that, So

to the list. Coming in second is Thailand. Hall's a
ceda menafin.

hard word.

if you would just try and give it a little,
the French would respect it please. Interesting, like so I
always just say louve because it's easier and because I
know I'm probably overdoing the world if I do it.
