I hear it more in where the emphasis is put on the words than the sounds
themselves... though I also hear some difference there. Not fully accurate,
of course, but here are computer generated speaking of the sentence:

Would be interesting to look at the pronunciation videos where real people
say the words... and then play those sounds and see who can guess which is

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
