Quite often I find I haven't a clue what people are talking about,
mostly when it is just casual conversation between the characters.

It's that old 2 nations divided by a common language thing again. It
takes time to tune in to the nuances of conversation in different
places.

These days, although I have good hearing, I find it often helps a lot to
have the subtitle (closed caption) text turned on.
