    i guess there are days when i'm talking well, and other days when i just can't pronounce just about anything correctly.

    i guess "specifically" could be a possible candidate. I forget about what others however.

    don't think there are single words I can't pronounce, but there are words I have difficulty pronouncing quickly together in succession.

    edit: just noticed i can't pronounce clothes, it sounds like im saying close. lol

    its weird. sometimes when i can't talk in simple words, i stutter to try and say it in plain english, but if I fail at that, I revert to talking in complicated phrases that not everyone would understand, unless they were concentrating.


    for example, I was trying to say: I didn't understand what you wanted...
    (but i didn't know how to phrase that... i wasn't really thinking in english...)

    but instead "I misinterpreted your request" came up.


    Imagine saying that to some 80+ year old, with bad hearing. haha.
