well long story short, it's very basic and has to do with assigning musical durations to every word and letter -- letters generally count as an eighth note, capitalized letters are a quarter, spaces are an eighth rest, periods are a quarter rest. "perfect" words or phrases are ones that amount to a standard 4/4 bar. There are exceptions -- "I" only counts as a lowercase 8th note since it is almost always followed by a space/eight rest. It's just cleaner that way. I am a counting fool
