Hi all,
I was looking for some thread on 'understand someone' and I came across this one. But I stuck on its very first line :
'I've been wondering how come I get to hear people say' .
Since it's written by a native speaker of English, I can't question its being idiomatic.
But i don't understand the meaning and especially role of 'how come', because how come makes this sentence an indirect question, whereas the thread opener asks a different question in the third sentence.
So please clear up the meaning of the sentence.
I'll be highly obliged. Thank you very much.
