emphatic

Only a guess but I think the reason this word is not used more often is because it is not phonetic, but then neither is fonetic. And who is the cruel genius who foisted the word "lisp" on those people who talk with one?

I emphatically deny inventing lisp. Maybe Al Gore...
And btw, emphatic seems to me quite commonly used.
