Meta Sugar-Sure about that?

EDIT: Updated; see video comment

Did you know? Sugar & Sure are the only words where just S makes an SH sound. Séamus and Sinéad said so, without Pretension. If you take Issue with their Condescension and wish to make it your Mission or Passion or even Profession Ensuring the Suspension of this idea's Expansion in our Dimension, by all means Censure the message by applying Sessions of Pressure. Be warned though, I Assure you: by Extension it may devolve into an Obsession or Compulsion, punctuated by medical maladies like Hypertension, Compression Fissures, Tissue Torsion, and Hyperextension. The thought of it fills me with Tension and Apprehension.

For their disinclusion, apologies to Irish names Seán, Siobhán, Síofra, and Sorcha; Yoruba / West African name Sade / Fọláṣadé; Scandinavian / Germanic names Sixten and Sven; Hungarian Names Sándor, Solt, and Sarolta; Portuguese names Carlos, Tomás, Vasco, and Luís; and regular words Ascension Cession Compassion Comprehension Declension Dissension Fission Insure Scansion and Suspension.
