This is really disheartening to learn. Syllables agree about rhythm and sounds, not vowels. Consider the word maneuver. Does it gain an extra syllable of you use a different spelling: manoeuvre?

How many syllables does "tape" have, with two vowels, as opposed to "tap" with one?

Does "speed" have more syllables than "sped"?

Coincidentally, my wife just told me today that she felt our baby start kicking for the first time this morning!

In some parts of North America, "squirrel" is pronounced as "skwirl", which means that "squirelled" is slightly longer than "strengths".

In the rest of the world, though, it's two syllables.

EDIT: turns out it's not just NA vs the world.

If they didn't know what it was how could they figure the rest out?

I was going to do this same thing and I think it’s funny

Re the moon: probably because the only time it's bright enough to be broad is under the full moon, so full moonlight is used instead.

From my experience with the 90s its pretty accurate. Maybe a bit of caricatures but that is understandable.

The only thing I can criticize is the lack of other drugs. A kid in my high school got arrested by joint task force with 250 hits of acid. There wasnt close 250 kids that would be willing to take acid at my high school but he brought all of it with him. Heroin was also a huge problem because of the proximity to Philly. So much coke too. It was a small town high school with city high school drug problems.

I know people who went to high school in that part of the country in the 90s and meth would have been pretty accessible. That and prescription opiates.

So far, 3 times... And it's not even because I'm seeing my partner 24/7. I just don't have the need to repeat the same thing over and over to a lot of people..

Probably less than .01% even counting people we just nod at as we walk by.
