	Ah, but I find the beep useful when I use it
	to flag odd words.
	You wouldn't believe "it" being odd, but I want it
	flagged because I want to make sure there are antecedents
	or better references to the subject/object than the
	phrase "it"
	So in the workaday SPL file, I have
	
	it ?
	
	Beeping everytime I, T [space] is used. Heads up for
	me to see what I've phrased.

	I often put such warnings on other words, though I'm
	lazy and will invoke a set of autocorrect phrases to
	replace the offending words, such as:
	
	easy tritegobblegook-easy

	that will glare at me.
