You know, those look weird, but I bet they really help with getting the rhythm and cadence of English, not just the phonetics. A lot of the reason it’s hard to understand people who speak X as a second language is that a native X speaker is expecting a certain rhythm, and when it’s not there, it doesn’t matter if the sounds are technically perfect, it’s still hard to understand it.

Let’s just say you can summon it up by using the title of a James Bond film. And I’m not talking about DR. NO, though the word “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” does describe it better.
I watch this one every year. It never gets old. It’s not for the easily offended, but then, I suppose the easily offended wouldn’t have made it this far into the thread.
