They have the same letter. I once heard somebody describe and interview they had conducted. They asked the interviewee, "What is listening?" and the interviewee answered "waiting for my turn to talk". When somebody you work with is talking are you already formulating your response in your head? It's o.k. it is human nature to listen waiting for your turn to chime in, don't beat yourself up.
