Syllabic division of words

[Randall Reetz]

My phone thinks "unicorn" is a more likely word than "unicode".  Says buckets about human nature.

Unicorn is a fairly robust protocol.  what's missing is the necessary automated layers between its necessary complexity and actual use thereof.  This is frequently the case with computer technology.  A protocol can have an aesthetic elegance that is inclusive to any actual manifestation or interaction between it and the real world.  Engineers tend to balk at walking this necessarily messy extra mile.

I don't know where this discussion is going;  but probaly down
a deep, dark hole. I am not sure how many languages there
are spoken round the world, but any attempt at writing code to
determine syllables or other linguistic 'bits' is going to end up
like Unicode (with which I am having 'buckets of fun' with right
mow), a fidge which leaves everybody disgruntled.
