#### Behavior Notes
+
in gtts using lots of , or ; in your sentences varies the intonation sometimes (to make it sound more human probably) but ends up sounding funny at high speeds and fewer words

it also likes to infer like dates and other information from text, trying `@_2-2-2-22_2-2-2-` will say something like "the second to the second of february twenty second"
