Syllable division
Hi! I'm Jorge, from Brazil.
Can you recommend me a dictionary that contains syllable division? I prefer American English.
Is syllable division in American English different from British English... or is there more than one correct way to break a syllable?
I have Longman Dictionary Of Contemporary English and Oxford American Dictionary. If I'm not mistaken, they don't follow the same syllable division rules. I found min-ute and mi-nute, re-al-ly and real-ly, ma-chin-e-ry and ma-chin-er-y.
Thanks!
