     I once jotted down something like   
      
   ˈɹʷʊˑuɿ ᵊɹ̩   
      
     and this guy was like, "I don't think that 'u' is stressed!".   
      
     He totally misunderstood the "half-long" mark as a stress   
     indicator! Pretty wild for a linguist who's written a whole   
     book on writing systems.   
      
     Just goes to show he's not even on top of his own game!
