The number of syllables (2 or 3) one hears in that word makes all the difference, huh.

It's all in the pronunciation.

Now tell me if the number of syllables makes any difference in the meaning. ???

I think that part is in the mind of the speaker.

Re: Seen in Print
Distantly related to such matters as syllabification, here's a demonstration of the value of proper, correct punctuation:
A woman, without her, man is nothing.
A woman without her man is nothing.

A woman, without her, man is nothing.
A woman without her man is nothing.

Oh, you are entirely correct about that.
Simple punctuation marks here-n-there and the message changes completely, doesn't it.

While punctuation certainly makes a difference, this example is otherwise flawed. While it's been too long since I leaned the grammatical rules to be able to recite them, the first line is not even a sentence.
Re: Seen in Print
This, on the other hand, makes some sense:
A woman. Without her, man is nothing.
A woman. Without her, man is nothing.

Or, a man isn't complete until married. Then he is truly finished.
