    That's because 'a while' is two words.

    Maybe I should have read the rest of the thread. I stopped one post short of this. I am full of redundancy.

    How many syllables is "one"? Apparently, it's six syllables.

    Yes.

    Why-ul. Bi-ul. Di-ul. Mi-ul.

    I hate to sound like a broken record...but I spent a good chunk of today trying several different ways to make any of these come out as one syllable, no matter how retarded sounding it was to me. I couldn't physically make it happen.
