There may be a lack of pronunciation but written English has clear rules demanding punctuation. The use of quoted words without quotation marks in the OP 'sentence' is ridiculous.

Buffalo buffalo and radar detector detector detector are much more valid.

Ugh, I meant punctuation. (Edited my comment to reflect that as well, but let the record stand that it originally had "pronunciation".)

My brain puts the words "punctuation" and "pronunciation" in the same hash bucket so I can never get the right one out reliably.

Oh. Well the Buffalo sentence doesn't omit punctuation, yet manages to be perfectly confusing. :)
