The first pie always takes longer because of the oven.

Did you hear how I said 'cuz of the oven'? Cuzof, cuzof, cuzof. If I said that out of

the context of a sentence, nobody would know what I was talking about. But as a part of

the whole, that's they way it makes sense to say it. Cuzof. We reduce it, it's low in

pitch, cuzofthe, cuzofthe, cuzofthe oven. Then the 'oven' is the stressed word. So,

this is very important in English: that the function words, the less important words,

are low in pitch, strung together, maybe reduced, to contrast with the shape of the stressed

word: cuzofthe oven.
