That's the whole thing, I can say it either way. One of my songs says 'smile smile smile' and it's single syllable, next I think smi-yull (though I actually think smi-ill).

It's a big mystery that can never be solved, like mirrors reversing left and right but not up and down, or why the sky is blue.

If you can turn a one syllable word into a two syllable word then you've just created something out of nothing!

Now let's think how we can use this to solve world hunger.
