[Ads-l] How to say tropical storm "Isaias" coming my way

[Tom Zurinskas]

Looks like hurricane Isaias is going to miss us in Greenacres FL, going east a bit.

Local weathermen are saying ~Eesie"eeyaas  (quote sign before vowel = stressed vowel)

 In truespel when two vowels are consecutive an apostrophe goes between them, but when the second vowel is stressed a double apostrophe or quote mark goes between, consistent with the truespel stress rule that a double consonant starts a stressed syllable (other than first), like "desert/dessert" "coral/corral")
