⚠️ Single-Syllable Vocal Energy & Vowel Articulation

The Trap: Single-syllable words like "b2b" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

When "b2b" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "b2b is" sounds like "b2b-iz").

⏱️ Stress-Timed Rhythm

In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "b2b" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
