- silence
0 to 9 as a single digit can be entered after any vowel as a stress marker.
Stress alters pitch, intensity and length of the vowel.
# ends the whole utterance. As it silences the sentence in which it occurs,
it usually follows a period.
Parentheses () seem to get the words inside them to be spoken as a continuous
group, rather than having a tiny gap between words.
Period and comma indicate different pauses and intonation contours,
appropriate to their normal punctuation usage in sentences.
