So it's that kind of question.

that's what they said often you're listening to an audio book while doing something else whereas reading a paper book you you can't be driving a bus for example you know so I think that probably makes a bit of a difference in the real world yeah I wonder if the brain also provides a little bit of white noise when you're reading because you can sort of pause or whatever because there's also really interesting research that um involved two recordings being played to an audience one with all the white noise the ums the ahs the fillers and things

kept in and another one where it was entirely stripped out and the one where it was kept in was was remembered uh best because it gives you a bit of time to absorb as long as it's not over the top i tend to allow one uh per sentence really

That's true.

And some people mouth quite obviously.

But in the future, we'll be able to just pick a voice, pick a text and match them, won't we?

Yes.

Which is quite scary.

Instagram at Susie Denton.

Yes, which is called Word Perfect.

And it is just a one-woman show where I just talk words.

We have a laugh, I hope.

Some silly videos, sort of facts that you guys hopefully would love.

And I have a Q&A section, which is my favorite bit.

So there's a sort of word surgery where people can ask me anything they want within reason.

The thing about many of the words that we struggle with is they've come through so many different languages and sort of morphed along the way.
