Rico Leffanta Date: 11/5/2019 4:40:00 PM Well done! Tricky, isn't it? I had no idea "really" was three syllables until informed by the PS counter! Aloha! Rico Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 11/5/2019 4:42:00 PM the syllable counters certainly do come up with some unusual syllable counts - really is 2 to me, I check on how many syllables and soup counter and they do have such discrepancies at times, i guess its down to regional accent too:-( hugs jan x
