Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "grubs" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "grubs is" sounds like "grubs-iz").
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "grubs" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
