    "coming out so fiat and dumb yet kind of tony". You said flat, but it is fiat. Kinda hard to tell when reading, surprised I picked up on it.

    • @dubonmot6407
      @dubonmot6407  4 місяці тому

      It is flat. "Fiat" is rarely an adjective description for a voice. Look at the context of the sentence too. Flat and dumb makes more sense than fiat and dumb.
      "Her voice kind of startled me, the way voices do when you see the people first,
      coming out so flat and dumb yet kind of tony too, the way it ticked over ''pick up'' and ''snacks.''
