Thanks! I pronouce it as 5 also - li-ar is 2 syllables to me... but clearly that's not the proper/google english.

Anyway, as if I haven't gone off topic enough already...just to say I'm here in London waiting for the concert at the O2 tomorrow night

ok, sorry, back to Christine....

The word is broken up into the separate vowel-sound groups;

pec (1st), ul (2nd), iar (3rd), ly (4th)

iar should sound more like 'yar' than 'ee-ar'

... I think
There seems to be some disagreement on the internet about it too

http://www.howmanysyllables.com calculates 5 syllables

Other sites say 4 and they all seem to divide it up differently

I'll be sitting in row K, A1, almost at the end of the row (Christine's side) Are you there tomorrow and if so where are you?

Ha, bit further back. A1 row S. End of row- inner isle.
Probably wearing a green Fleetwood Mac 'football' T Shirt.

That's where I was last time - end of row T and it was a great view - no heads to look over as the aisle was clear. If I spot that t-shirt I'll wave. I think I'll be wearing a green top with royal blue cardi on top. Have a great time!

What difference does it make how the experts say it should be pronounced? There's no doubt it is a tricky word to say correctly.

What matters is that Christine pronounces it with 5 syllables, although after listening carefully, I have observed that her pronunciation is somewhat unconventional. Sort of like this: pe - cu - yer - lur - ly
