Re: Pair of Syllables
OBR .. you are right and I am wrong. Cheap is considered to have one syllable.Oldblueraincoat wrote: ↑Sat Aug 14, 2021 10:59 pm OK folks you made your point - I will withdraw from this game as l obviously don't understand the rules - enjoy![]()
Syllables are complex and I don't always agree with the academic decision.
In the long-term does it really matter whether I place a word of one syllable, two or three ?
As in my use of cheap, for example, heap could be the starting point for the second word as could ap .. both stand on their own as sounds or syllables.
