memo

This word is that I never remember and look up in dictionary forever.
This must be my 1xth time. And I want this the last time.
I saw this word often in Australia. Understandable.

(It's hard to remember because "in" "di" "genous" all parts of this word look familier. You can find those in many words so there is almost nothing to make this word differ from other words! Too general! tooふつうisn't it）
