But that long pause is still way shorter than the pauses at actual periods! Look at the waveform[0]: the ovals are the periods, the rectangle is the pause between "places" and "wild". I guess due to the length of the pauses at the actual periods, my brain automatically discards the possibility of "all places. Wild!" and then the best interpretation clearly is "all places wild" for me.
But hey, the fact that at least two people interpreted it differently says something. Maybe this was more of a faceplant than I initially realized.

- jagged-chisel 4y agoEmpirical evidence of a pause and its length is not indicative of how the typical listener will interpret it.
