As usual, my listening skills have betrayed me. I was sure I heard him say the E sound because it startled me. I should have replayed it before posting. Sorry for the fake news. I should have learned my lesson when I was 9 and I sent DC Comics a letter saying they'd made an error related to a yellow/red sun and Superman's powers. They laughed at me too and blamed the outsourced printing vendor :roll: . Must. not. question. authority.
