But I remember reading once that for the very early ages, high, sing songy, repetitive voices make a difference. My wife and I mocked my MIL with all that shit because it made her sound like the fifth Tellitubbie, but we noticed it had an effect, and then we read some such shit that suggested that it actually helps communication.
Like I say, it should be used only in moderation, and only with infants or with Sidd. And in public it should be whispered, so the chances of looking like a fucking idiot are raised no more than necessary.

Yes, I understand that about the sing songy thing working with little ones. My point was as you note about the person being loud in a public place from which nobody can escape. And maybe it's hard to turn it on and off, but PLEASE DON'T talk to your spouse in the same tone of voice.
Or more accurately, PLEASE GOD don't let me do so.
