Fire has to be one syllable, because pirate is two syllables.

French? Oh, well, that explains it.

The /ʃ/ is palatalised by the 'i' in English, so it's just one /ʃʸ/ sound.

Not everyone talks like a slack-jawed hillbilly or Caribbean nigger gangster rapper. It's pronounced "fire." Not fai-er, not fa-yuh. Fire.

I pronounce it gra-cieux. But it still is counted as gra-ci-eux when it comes to syllables.

No, it really isn't.

Gracious - gray-shus - with the accent on the first syllable.

>> No.1406203

>>1406121
But French prnounce it Gra-cieux don't they?
