Just curious regards other's use of {HISlaH} and {HIja'}. I know there's no<br>
difference and correct me if I'm wrong but personally I like {HIja'} and<br>
especially with the glottal stop cutting off it's short and sweet well<br>
befitting any enthusiastic yes as opposed to a {HISlaH} which I personally<br>
prefer for a reluctant yes like I'm saying yes but swearing under my<br>
breath as I do so ;-)<br>
<br>
Do other people just use the one they prefer, randomly use either or some<br>
other personal rule of thumb?<br>
