My period's due on Wednesday.
So, when did it decide to start?
Why, this morning, of course.

hmm, that looks like a haiku:

period, due wednesday
when does it decide to start?
monday morning. bah.

If you can say "Wednesday" in one syllable, I'm impressed. :)

She doesn't need to, does she?

pe-riod due wednes-day

Though I suppose that pronouncing "period" as 2 syllables is sloppy, and requires concentration ;) But easier than "wedsnesday" as one ... "weds" would be better all round I guess.

Oh, I see. I always make "period" three syllables, which was what was confusing me.

What confused *me* was that I started off pronouncing Wednesday with three, which made life really hard - I didn't think about period with three...

At this rate, it could be the middle line.

Hmmm... bewaffling. Who's to say how many syllables what has. I'd give the whole thing 7 syllables, but if it's 'pir-yid' and the debatably vulgar 'whens-day', I s'pose...

I've actually lost my ability to say the word 'Owl' as a monosyllabic word. I'm now saying 'Ow-wull'. Methinks after 17 years I'm beginning to acquire a regional accent. What's the correct Owlic syllallabus, and how can I say it properly without it soundign like 'Al' or 'Arl'
