I didn’t know what it meant to be hit so hard in he feels until this.
I was walking down “roading lane” yesterday and i thought that was bad enough.
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)
Do you happen to have the link? It’s Sunday here and I need fun.
The link to someone criticizing my use of monosyllabic?
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.
I mean yeah, I guess it helps empower my suicidal ideation. ta!
That problem disappears when you stop speaking English
Many problems do. Unfortunately, other problems, some if them worse, might START as a consequence of the same change, so not really worth it IMO
Is there a term for words that are self-descriptive?
Yes but when you say them out loud you can adjust the lengths
Lisp has an S.
The fear of long words is “hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.”
Queue has 4 silent letters, in a line.
Plough, through, and trough don’t rhyme, but pony and bologna do.
You park in your driveway, but drive on a parkway.
I before E, except after C, or when sounding like A, as in neighbor and weigh. We live in a weird society.

Read rhymes with lead, and read rhymes with lead, but read and lead don’t rhyme, and neither do read and lead.
And the word “cum” is actually thinner than the word “water” but cum is still thicker than water (it’s a saying)
Viscous is the word you’re looking for.
Yeah, that IS longer than “water”, well done!
