I have a Swedish "mm" that means "yes" or "go on", but when I instinctively use it speaking English, people tend to interpret it as a "hmm?", like "sorry, what was that, I was thinking of Ancient Rome", basically the opposite of what it's supposed to signal.

Over the years, I have tried to get rid of it or, failing that, modify it to sound more affirmative, but to this day, I still have it, and it's still causing confusion.

If it sounds more like a Japanese "un", native English speakers and Cantonese English speakers read it correctly. I can do it with effort, but unless I catch myself, that's not how it comes out.

Basically, the Swedish rising tone "mm" sounds like a distracted question mark to people, but a falling tone "un" sounds like an affirmative full stop.

Now what I did was make the fix, run `git rebase --edit-todo`, add a `pick djejfj4746` (the commit sha) to the end of the rebase, then run `git reset --hard HEAD^` to pretend like nothing happened, and `git rebase --continue`.

Don't remember things when the tool can remember it for you.

I sometimes realize, in the middle of a git rebase, that something is annoying and I want to fix it.

What I would usually do is make a commit then and there, let the rebase continue, and then later I'll have to remember that I want to do another rebase to move that commit to the proper place in the commit tree.

But what if your ongoing git rebase is something big, like run a check on each commit and push them as they're verified? I don't want that fix on my PR, and I don't want to skip the rest of the side-effects in this rebase and then start over.
