Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "surfactant" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "surfactant is" sounds like "surfactant-iz").
Maintain the stress-timed rhythm of English: compress unstressed syllables rapidly so the beat of "surfactant" aligns naturally with adjacent words.
