That Dr. Mercy, he sure
liked to talk. You see, it was his way of keeping his English up so that it
flowed when he spoke. That, and the fact that he’d need to be understood when
he gave lectures or presentations. Especially if he was going to be going overseas.
Admittedly, it wasn’t the
technical jargon that set him back. It was the little stuff. The daily
conversational kind of chit-chat words that a person really wouldn’t pick up
from their year abroad, especially if most of that time was spent in a lab.
