So it turns out that I'm going to have to modify some java code I wrote in order to account for tricksy linguistic things involving stress.

My first thought: "Hee! I get to code!" [bounce bounce bounce]

I think my happiness stems from the ability to get a real result that no one can turn around and say, "Well, that's just wrong." The ideas behind the code may well be wrong and may indeed need fixing in the future - but the code itself is right because it works. End of story.
