I think you're forgeting, pierre, it's 7 hours now that you've been on your feet. Do you really care at this point?
I have been in diners where the question is something more like "cree *slurred grunt* sug". When you're in a mental state such that you don't even really care about getting your phonemes correct I have a feeling that you /really/ don't care that it should probably be sumti and not selbri that you're using
Also, thanks for pointing out je'i. Up till now I had thought (for some silly reason) that ji pulled double duty since .i was already taken and couldn't be used for sumti conection question.
