A new, localized, rhythm of speech is developed that is understandable to the group. With age comes a loss of the ability to hear the <i>almost indistinct pauses</i> between the words.<br /><br />And, since I spent a few too many hours at hard rock concerts (Led Zeppelin, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Iron Butterfly, and the like) without wads of cotton jammed in my ears, I also suffer from the "Huh?" malady.<br /><br />(an aside...
