Ending a Telephone Call

بَلَّش عَصْر الإِنْتَرْنِت بِوَقْت الحَرْب البَارْدِة بَين رُوسْيَا وأَمْرِيكَا.
طَبعًا بَلّش بِالجَيش الأَمْرِيكِي بِالسِّتِينَات أو السَبْعِينَات
بعدين بالتْمَانِينَات صَار مَسْمُوح بَين النَاس وبِالتِسْعِينَات إِنْتَشَر كْتِير.
هلأ صار الإِنْتَرْنِت كْتِير مُهِم بِحَيَاتْنَا، وبَعْد كُورُونَا صِرْنَا نِسْتَخْدِمُه مْشَان الشِغِل.
