Yes, I'm sure he does. But like another poster stated, I don't care where it is. He is getting the job done. To me it doesn't matter.
"Sort of" is such a harmless thing to say. "Sort of". It's just a filler. "Sort of" - It doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, "sort of" means everything. Like after "I love you" or "You're going to live" or "It's a boy".
