How many words have two syllables or more in the Gettysburg Address?

Here's how we can figure that out:

1. The Gettysburg Address: You'll need the full text of the Gettysburg Address. It's readily available online.

2. Syllable Count: Carefully count the syllables in each word. Here's a reminder of how to count syllables:

* Each vowel sound typically marks a syllable (e.g., "cat" has one syllable, "paper" has two).

* A single vowel can sometimes represent two sounds (e.g., "great" has one syllable, "treat" has two).

3. Tally: Make a list of all words with two or more syllables.

4. Total: Add up the number of words on your list.

Let me know if you want to do this together, and I can help you count syllables and find the total.
