You’re correct here, I believe John, but I myself rarely write monophonic music like this.
I was just telling my choir to do this on Wednesday. “No snakes 
in the choir! Put that ‘S’ in front of the following syllable! not the end of this word!”

Ok - you’ve convinced me to give this a go. Question - for some reason when I press play in Dorico the notes are all sustained - have you come across this? Can’t see that I’ve set up EW especially wrongly…
AFAIK to currently use Symphonic Choirs and WordBuilder with Dorico, you need to use Play version 5 on Windows. However, Ulf has fixed a bug which prevented people from using Play version 6 or Opus with Dorico, and that fix should appear in Dorico 4 early next year.
Hmm. It depends. We were recently singing John Bennet’s “Weep O mine eyes and cease not”, and if it sounds like ‘See Snot’…

my point exactly!
Of course(!) it’s context dependent, but as a general rule, it is still valid, I think.
