this is going to be an onomatopoeia, it has to be, and nothing else;
because it has to be so... and nothing else?
        imagine writing a word in italic -
       surely you'd realise to indicate a comma somewhere
in that stylicism?
                    it's the opposite of any known suffix -ology -
a bit like fashion, but indeed, more discreet
                   when it comes to: but so! the necessary!
but if i were to write a word in italics, for emphasis,
i'd have to include a punctuation mark
to take a breather and pause, to add the intended
    emphasis... but obviously i would do what chemists
do, reversing what the mathematicians do...
           i wouldn't subscript the "attention-deficit-disorder"
i'd launch the ****** into "outer space"!
                 italic' - yep... the comma is on the ceiling...
eddie izzard... the mouse the cat the monkey...
           under the table, on the chair... on a branch...
and this really does tie into the practice of the diacritical
approach... sorry... i can't do the dialectical condescending
approach... it's been done...
                 it's done... it's been dusted... it's silverware
that's been polished over 2000 ******* times!
           but let's just say you want emphasis....
so you use the mighty tool of skewed press...
                post-truth... that sort of ****...
  you write...
                               em...    the broom' is hiding
                                              in the cupboard!
see that"? the comma just jumped to the ceiling!
       because you can just make emphasis and expect
people to punctuate it correctly...
                    just like you can't
               say, in english, that a word ending with -s
can have another s added to it, to indicate the ******
obvious...
               e.g. snakes'          alt. snakes's     says?
  no! snakes'sez...    fez! fez! that funny egyptian
                   head-gear under the ottomans'
                                                                ­     governship.
                                     just so you know... the media
just writes: snakes's           - i.e. it belongs to a lot
of snakes... whatever that is.
                                   by now i'm thinking of the aesthetic:
the comma has to drop, it has to drop pretending
it's a scared cat clinging to a chandelier...
          so to indicate a plural ownership
                              i'd just write snakes,    
                               the comma just dropped...
and there was no talk of ᛋᛋ...
                                              and you thought the gender
neutral pronoun "debate" was bad...
                         how about i tell you how to write,
the most, perfect' onomatopoeia....
              what bird?                   the ****** cuckoo!
'ere goes:
                                            kú     kūł             ká
   that acute á?         just a missing exclamation mark... !
the ł?                 2      omicrons and a dabble u short...
   of a w.
                 looks like it's a double v... but never mind.
but diacritical markings are literally punctuation marks
for syllable ingestion...
              i can't believe i'm repeating this,
but then i compensate that idea with: ink, coal,
me, coalminer.... this... coal mining; repeat repeat repeat.
