    That’s a stretch, imo. I’ve never seen anyone put a conscious effort into verbally emphasizing the less important parts of a sentence to their kids or anyone else. Those poor kids don’t deserve that, just like babies don’t deserve having their verbalization skills stunted by baby talk.

      You’ve never heard anyone try to comfort a kid like that? I mean, maybe your argument against doing it is valid, but that doesn’t mean it’s not super common.
