I have realized
That I have a knack for this;
Writing the Haiku
---------------------------
You asked for a page
I gave you a 404
Isn't the web great?
---------------------------
For I equals 1
While I is less than 7
Increment the I

nothing nil nada zip
null nought; they all add up to
rather fat goose eggs

I would have thought "nada" was a count of two, but apparently...ummmm...not.

nada" has always been two syllables in MY pronunciation.... have I been saying it wrong?

Car Dealers would say that it is four syllables <grin>.

I can tell you with absolute certainty that anyone who uses it as the Spanish word for "nothing" pronounce it as two syllables. I cannot even imagine how a person would pronounce "nada" as one syllable.

dictionary.com seems to have it as one. I can not see how it could be one.

In terms of Haiku

Should we count for a &quot;:)&quot;?
