riningear:
oh dear god what now
why can't I keep my gun up
fire everywhere
Mod Josie:
People, get it right.
Fire has one syllable, kay?!
Do you English, bros?
If you hire someone -
Do you higher them instead?
Sometimes words are dumb.

(we banned the use of fire on page 2 remember! Also, both higher and hire defiantly have 2 syllables.)
Shadak Shademore:
Fly upon the wings
of a ship so strong and true,
in to the sunset.
I scan the ships deck,
The engineers fixing gears
Of the battered hull.
The gunners polish
Brassy battered sparking guns
And organise rounds.
Far in the distance,
Another ship charges forth
A huge galleon.
A battle ensues,
The burning sky with fury,
as rounds burst the hull.
Phoenix claw to turn,
Barrels of moonshine to burn
And so much to learn.
When battle is done
The burning embers remain
and silence remains.
Exhausted we fly
To a port or hiding place
To rest and reflect.
Mod Josie:
Oxford English Dictionary says:
Hire
Line breaks: hire
Pronunciation: /ˈhʌɪə
Higher
Line breaks: High¦er
Pronunciation: /ˈhʌɪə
Fire
Line breaks: fire
Pronunciation: /ˈfʌɪə
The number of line breaks denoted the number of syllables that a word has. Hire has one, Higher has two. Fire has one.
Such Naziism
Grammar is so important.
My work here is done.
