Correct but obviously exaggerating. I'd love to hear his not-quite-2-year-old daughter "using" 4-syllable words 🙄

I’m not a wordologist. Do words become harder to say when they’re longer? I mean, alalalalalong has 6 syllables.

Longer words are harder for children to get right.

I mean, California, and other states, are 4 syllable words.

[–] peto@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Can push California to 5 syllables if you really want to.

Are you attacking my cultural heritage of slurring words like a drunk ferret?

Yep. Maybe the sister’s named Elizabeth (and they obviously didn’t accept any nicknames)
