Hi Branden,

I rushed to grep any of those words in gropdf.pl, alas absent, but watch out 
for my next push. ;-)

On peoples' accents: I spoke to 'gemini' once - asking it a question - its 
response was "Do one". (I'd love to know what it thought I said to it - it 
certainly wasn't a question with multiple choice answers). Usually I have 
about 75% success rate in people I don't know understanding my speech (face-
to-face - a bit lower on the phone because they are trying to work out if I'm 
inebriated or not). For LLMs its 0%, so much for "super intelligence"!

Cheers

Deri
