I am so far from having even the slightest problem saying ihi that I'm
wondering if I'm missing something.

My toungue doesn't move position in my mouth *at* *all* to say ihi;
there's merely a slight change in flexure in the middle.

Actually, if someone who understands this discussion wants to call me on
the phone and tell me if I'm doing something drastically wrong, just
mail me privately (I can pay the long distance).
