This post has made me spend the last 20 minutes sounding out the word “genetically” in my head to see if it should have four or five syllables. I think I might even pronounce it differently in different contexts.

I am a biologist, by the way.

I have decided it has 4.35 syllables.

I am a mathematical biologist.

Many ancient texts (Iliad, Odyssey, Beowulf etc) started as an oral transmission and had a poetic meter to aid in memorisation.

Common misconception. They actually started as gangsta rap.

Which is also why they are full of repetition, making them, in my opinion, much more tedious reads for stories that should be more engaging.
