    If it helps, “monosyllabic” has five syllables. (Last time I mentioned this on lemmy I was bombarded by people who had a lot to say about it, though)

          Well the context made it look like it was about people having a “short vs long” this-thread-ish freakout on the fact that monosyllabic has five syllables, but sure why not.

            Gotcha, sorry if I was unclear. It will likely take me a bit to find the link (it was a long time ago), but I’ll see if I can find it for you.
