Won't someone think of the yachters. - Lemmy.World

Is anyone else bothered by the addition of the word “just”, which throws off the whole rhythm and doesn’t need to be there in any way?
It works if you pronounce the last word as three syllables. I don’t know if that’s the correct way to pronounce it, but it is the American way to pronounce it.

“I’m a bitch”

3 syllables

“I’m an orca”

4 syllables

“Sinking yachts”

3 syllables

“Off Majorca”

4 syllables

Adding “Just” makes it 5, which is too many for the pattern

5 works just fine.
It’s awkward, especially since the “just” is completely unnecessary.
