why are there five syllables in the word monosyllabic?

I am not this smart but my son is an english major and a writer so here is the answer I received when I sent him the question to ponder.

first you must seperate the word. mono is a prefix that comes from that latin word mono which means one. now the main word used is syllable. the word syllable was first used by the poet Chauncer in the 1300s. the word syllable comes from the latin word sylaba which means "to take or put together". the conotation being that language is made up of the putting togther of multiple linguistic sounds. so when you say a word with two syllables, you are doing so by putting togther two linguistic sounds to make one word. so with that knowledge, you can understant why we use the word syllable, and even though monosyllablic is made of five syllables (or five linguistic sounds) it is because the word was created from a word that originally had nothing to do with language. it was just a way for Chauncer to describe the putting together of sounds to make a language.

i hope this helps answer your question. hahahaha

don't your kids make you feel dumb? :thumbs2:

Three guys go into a hotel to rent a room.

The desk clerk says its $30 and all three guys put in $10 a piece.

The bell hop brings up the bags and the guys say thanks but don't give him a tip.

As the bell hop arrives back down in the lobby, the desk clerk calls him over and

says he made a mistake on the price of the room.

The actual price should have been $25 and he hands the bell hop 5 ones and tells

him to bring it up to the three guys.

The bell hop is still mad for not being given a tip, so he pockets $2 and gives the

guys the $3.

The guys are happy because now the room only costs $9 each.

Now here's the question. If each guy put in $9 - $27 total (3 times 9), and the bell hop stole $2, thats $29 (27 plus 2). What happened to the other dollar?? (they all originally put in $10 a piece (10 times 3 equals 30).

And no the government didn't steal it (yet). :thumbs2:

There is no missing dollar. The men spent $27, of which $25 went on the room and $2 went to the bell boy. You can not add the $2 the bellboy has to the $27 the men spent as this $2 actually comes out of the $27 the men spent, the other $25 going on the room.

Here's how the $30 breaks down:

$25 - room

$3 (3x $1) back to the men

$2 Bellboy
