    I know what they are I was just a little puzzled by you using them and wondered if abbreviating the words was a way to emphasize the word is spoken unstressed in that use.

    Illidan is a Warcraft character

    You know I watched some videoclips of him and the actual footage doesn’t quite do it the same as mine and my partners Parody version of him so I guess I’ve sort of changed the character in my head aha

    We noticed how Illidan’s dialogue became slower and more dramatic, our version is sort of a charicature with an even more dramatic voice and we tend to shout out the stressed syllables in some words.

    So I imagine I guess a parody version of that character as an aid to help me pick up on stressed and unstressed syllables and the way certain words and syllables can be stressed differently depending how they are placed in the sentence and how it is spoken.
