Good morning, Amy, :)

I suppose I’m not the first person in your life who can successfully comprehend
and even write :) a lot more ('perfect' phrases :) ) than can pronounce.

I already said it here that when I’m trying to pronounce several short :) words (that, what and the like) one after another as in my example - and with normal speed :) - I actually sound as a natural born stutterer :(

... It was not a serious question. Just a… hmm...how to say it in your language?…
a cry from the depths ? heartfelt cry ? heart-cry?
Plea?
:)
