is "Screeched" really one syllable? I definitely pronounce it "scree-ched"
Edit: deleted a hyphen that didn't even explain how I pronounce it, and I also realised it could sound monosyllabic in a certain accent)
Edit 2: (posted as a reply to another comment) I just looked it up and apparently what I considered syllables for my entire life until this moment is completely wrong. A syllable only refers to the vowel sound, not the individual sounds that make up a word. To clarify (for anyone else as stupid as me lol) with "Screeched", even though you are making 2 very separate sounds to say the word, only the sound with a vowel noise counts as a syllable, so the "ched" part doesn't count.
I feel reallly reallly stupid right now. Sorry guys.
Edit 3: Google definitions lies, a syllable is the individual series of noises and sounds that make up a word, so...yeah, to me "Screeched" isn't monosyllabic.

No, sorry I wrote it out terribly, the "ed" noise (which is also part of the "ch" but the "ed" is the more distinguishable syllable). But regardless "screeched" is definitely not a single syllable word.

Then you're pronouncing it wrong.

What are you, a character in Shakespeare? I could be wrong, but I think it's one syllable.

Are you saying that you pronounce the "ch" as a separate syllable? Because that's retarded.
