Creation and Usage Notes

I was never pleased with this satellite. Its pronunciation, specifically. I think it's reasonable enough to think the [t] would drop out, but it's very uncomfortable to say—especially when the following word begins with a vowel. And it always begins with a vowel—at least whenever I'm recording the line.
