| − | :Depends on barely audiable differences in pronunciation (vowel in voy-eur and consonant in vo-yeur). Would have to be voy-e-yor for every writen vow to be pronounced distinct from the others, though. Equally kyu-e-oo-ee. -- [[Special:Contributions/108.162.210.111|108.162.210.111]] 17:52, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

| − | Isn't it related to the kind of long scream containing long string of vowels during climax ? {{unsigned ip|173.245.53.138}}

| − | I'm slightly worried that Cueball has a (huge) database containing data on sexual arousal and consecutive vowels, such that they can be plotted against each other.... --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 15:39, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

| − | I don't think Megan is shouting here, considering how close the two are. While I can see that the italics may imply shouting, I would instead interpret the dialogue to be whispered with intensity, so as to establish a mood.

| − | Has anyone else noticed that the scatter plot has waaaaay too many different x-values to have "queueing" and "voyeur" be near the top of the curve?
