Too funny! When I moved from the Ottawa area to Prince Edward Island, I noticed that "garage" went from being two syllables to only one.

Boston has a unique dialect. Lost my khakis, means they lost their car keys.

Robert, I am trying to do write the Haiko's but I do not know to what extent I am doing good. Is the above mentioned by me considered a proper Haiko ?

Hi Rami,
Be a Leader / (4 syllables, should be 5)
Try to remove the "E" / (6 syllables, should be 7)
And let it "Go" (4 syllables, should be 5)

I am getting there: 4-6-4 is a good progress :D I am just trying to wrap my head about the syllables thing.

I sometimes get the syllables wrong. You can count on the grammar police correcting you. haha!

haha The grammar police might give be a big fine if so. I still do not get the syllables thing right or how to count them, that's it.

If you Google "define ______", it will show the definition, plus the word will be broken out by syllables. That's how I found that Stephane was correct when I played police with him.

You are the Police then, I should watch my syllables speed then. Thanks for the tip Robert.

Oops, I forgot that punctuation makes all the difference:
Gold plated egos /

to wrap in cotton!
