Talk:Vowel Boot Camp/@comment-73.37.237.49-20190113030927

First example of letter E:

Sargent Mark: [after the usual lines] But suddenly a "B" comes straight at you, then a "T" attacks from the rear. Give me your sound, soldier.

[he says his short sound]

Sargent Mark: Word!

[he says "Bet!"]

Sargent Mark: You bet, soldier. So you call in the backup, and "A" joins the fight by your side. What's the rule of engagement? [When two vowels stand side by side, the first one says its name with pride.] So what's your sound now, Vowel E?

[he says his long sound]

Sargent Mark: Word!

[he says "Beat, sir!"]

Sargent Mark: You bet, now beat it. [then says the ending line for E]
