syllables

Similar hierarchies exist in speech and text from sounds to phones, phonemes, syllables, words and sentences.

If you look through the large generated example you'll see that there's not much consistency in the number of syllables per line.

The samples you've reproduced here aren't iambic, but they are around ten or eleven syllables per line, which is impressive enough in itself.

But I still dislike it intensely: why use more syllables/more letters when you could use fewer with exactly the same meaning?

Then, I generate 2 random words based on the website name (based on the syllables).

This contradicts tactic 3 which says to use fewer syllables, i.e.

However, clitics in general are not necessarily zero syllables long.

Other companies that have been around for decades and are not immediately stoked to cut huge checks to three year old companies missing syllables from their names.

That's not entirely true - it only uses monosyllabic words for IPv6 addresses because there's no other way to fit enough bits into the right number of syllables.

Stresses on syllables come in different places.

I realize the point he's making about doing unnecessary work, but there's also a reason we haven't expanded human language past written characters or spoken syllables.

But I also dislike unnecessary syllables so that's my justification.

So, for example, the 's of "the man's about to jump" is lexically a form of the verb is, but it's been reduced down to zero syllables.

For example, all those languages mark the role of nouns in a sentence by tacking on extra syllables ("particles"/"case markers").

Now I just say "sequel" to fit in, and because it's fewer syllables.

On top of that, it has the wrong number of syllables, so it's not a very good joke, even considering that "clever" renaming is one of the lowest forms of humor.
