Erroneous elision

An open letter to James C. Taylor, host of Theatre Talk on KCRW:
Dear Mr. Taylor,
Your insight and coverage are commendable. I listen regularly for valuable commentary on the American theater. There is one important thing you should know about the English language, however. The phrase “Theatre Talk” has four syllables when spoken aloud.
Respectfully,
Kevin Ashworth
