- ezrast 9y agoYour post averages 1.69 syllables per word; this one is 1.86. There's no way the conversational average is higher than two.
- int_19h 9y agoThe average number of syllables per English word is ~1.4. For an alternative perspective, 71.5% of all English words are monosyllabic, and 19.4% are bisyllabic.
