As a certified LiveWire Intellectual I am indubitably capable of composing a more verbose post, however, I shan't

This does not bode well for the Intellectual Forum if we're having to ask how to pronounciate common 7-letter words...

Well when two dictionaries say two different things, maybe we should have a look at it.

A dictionary? Come on, this doesn't exactly take a genius. Clap the fucking word if you have to.

I'd say it was three because you don't say emo-shun you say eeh-moe-shun.

"emo" can't possibly one syllable unless one of the letters is silent, which is not the case.  Thus, emotion must have at least three syllables.

WOW!

That's three letters, but only one syllable. But wait! There's also an exclamation mark. Does that make it four letters, and two syllables? Unless you count the 'W' only once, and exclude the punctuation. Is 'W' one letter, or two 'U's?

What a conundrum.

Emotion has 3 syllables.
