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