thats why you can tell what this means
but not what this means

that's why metrics like ALCONS are used to evaluate speech intelligibility. just sayin, educational stuff is supposed to be about facts, right? poor, poor children, being fed this deliberate misinfomation campaign by ian cause he's so prejudiced against consonants. tsk tsk. :P

i'm just poking fun here. i know little kids wouldn't really like songs about ALCONS.
