Your brain is AMAZING!
Think about these two facts:
1. When someone is talking there are about 25 different speech sounds per second that you hear and unconsciously identify. That's fast.
2. Half of the words you hear in fluent conversation are unintelligible when presented in isolation.
And yet you can understand what someone's saying! That's incredible!
