Somewhere there must be a list off all these words with multiple pronunciations with different syllables.<br />Isn't playing with words,so much fun?<br />To make rivulets a two syllable word, the soft u sound in the middle is dropped.

We have had some arguments in our critique groups about whether "orange" and "squirrels" or one or two syllables. It seems to depend on where one lives. Being from the Midwest, I pronounce "orange" as one syllable and "squirrel" as two, while some of my critique partners pronounce them the opposite way. It does make poetry difficult!Rosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294774973863802821noreply@blogger.com
