@seekingfreedom

saccharine doesn't scan

@pete @seekingfreedom depends on whether you pronounce it as two or three syllables.
@mweiss @seekingfreedom ah, I hadn’t considered dialect

@mweiss @pete @seekingfreedom

How do you pronounce saccharine with less than 3 syllables? SA Ka Rin

Anyway I don't know anything about songs, but thought this was great

@kat @mweiss @pete @seekingfreedom You can elide the middle syllable vowel, making it "SAK rin". That works to make the line scan better.
