 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.
