-.TH SYL 6 "June 2016" "Manual page for syl"
-.SH NAME
-.B syl
-\- make a crude guess as to the number of syllables of a word
-.SH USAGE
-.B syl
-syllable
-.br
-.B syl
-canapé
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B syl
-applies some very crude heuristics to guess at the number of syllables that
-would be used if the Latin-alphabet word on the command line were spoken out
-loud. It is far too inaccurate for any serious use, particularly for languages
-other than English; the author uses it for poetry generation.
