i have a theory about why spanish speakers talk so fast...

dude, there-s like a gazillion syllables in all their words. it-s not uncommon to find words with 7 or more syllables. they gotta talk fast if they want to cram the same amount of information in the same amount of time as english speakers.

i often ask myself... 7 syllables in one word? is that really necessary? i-m a fan of all things efficient and that just seems like a waste to me.

p.s. i-m not saying that english doesn-t have words with 7 or more syllables  i-m just sayin that on average, we ain-t got that many.
