23. One

24. George? One.

    Jorge? Two.

25. Two for me.

    I also pronounce “Georgia” with 2 syllables.

    Difference is that “George” ends in a very short, breathy ‘jeh’ sort of way, while “Georgia” ends in a much more pronounced jya/jah way that takes as long to say as the first syllable.

    The first syllable rhymes with “door” on both of them for me.

26. one…
    Three if I’m trying to be creepy to Geroge
