[AndrewB]

Tom Richardson

 

[trundler]

King Kallis has 3 English picks. I thought we were restricted to 2 from each country.

 

[trundler]

Otherwise I would've picked Anderson or Richardson 2 rounds ago

 

[weldone]

King Kallis has 3 English picks. I thought we were restricted to 2 from each country.

Yes he must change one of his picks.

 

[Line and Length]

Kingkallis must return his last English selection (John Snow) and, when it his next pick, he can add a replacement.

I believe it is my choice. I'll take Bert Ironmonger.

 

[Line and Length]

Next picks:

JOJOXI - Atraxia - Kingkallis (2 picks with one being a replacement for John Snow)

Randomised order for Rounds 7 & 8 will follow.

 

[kingkallis]

Okay

 

[kingkallis]

Hugh Tayfield

 

[trundler]

Tay-field.

2 syllables if I'm right.

 

[JOJOXI]

Hugh Tayfield

Wilfried Rhodes

Also I'm not sure what the consensus is but I automatically thought that was 2 syllables.

 

[Teuton]

Definitely 2 syllables

 

[kingkallis]

Shows 3!

 

[JOJOXI]

https://www.howmanysyllables.com/wordprocessor

Shows 3!

Think this is the key rule on the website

"When two (or more) vowels are next to each other, the number of syllables depends on the number of vowel sounds.
examples: free (1 syllable), eat (1 syllable), & bio (2 syllables)" - that is from the how many syllables website

Unfortunately, it seems like for many of the words in the context of this draft the syllable count is done algorithmically so that such differences cannot be acknowledged, but sounding it out certainly sounds like 3, it also says Field is 2 syllables - I don't think thats right as its pronounced much more like "feeled" then "Fi-eld"

 

[kingkallis]

So can I keep it or not?

 

[trundler]

Website is ****ed honestly. Showed McGrath as 1 when it was 2 also. Tay-field is pretty clear cut if you ask me.

[JOJOXI]

Just to be certain Ataraxia and then 7th and 8th round order?
