IN A PREVIOUS MAIL-OUT, I SAID THAT "SCREECHED" IS THE LONGEST ONE-SYLLABLE WORD IN THE ENGLISH LAGUAGE.
MY PAL, PHIL PROCTOR (CORRECTLY) CORRECTED THIS UNTRUTH.
FIRST, AS PHIL POINTS OUT, THE WORD "STRENGTHS" ALSO HAS 9 LETTERS AND IS ONE-SYLLABLE LONG.
BUT PHIL ALSO POINTS OUT THAT THE WORD "SQUIRRELED" HAS 10 LETTERS AND ONLY ONE SYLLABLE.
