Technically its 3 (like if I was asked on a test id say 3). but the schwa has basically vanished phonetically to make it 2 if you are just talking.

I'd sooner agree it has 0 syllables than say it has 3

Officially 3, commonly 2 in my region!

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

So are the people saying it's two in practice but 3 technically still voting for 2? Why is the incorrect answer winning??

why make a poll for something that has an objectively correct answer if that's what you're looking for? clearly the intention is for people to vote what they do (which can produce interesting results) and not what is correct (which cannot)

Because regardless of how anyone says it, factually it has 3, which is what he asked. Otherwise he should have asked how many syllables you pronounce of the 3.

The actual poll "question" lists the pronunciations so it's pretty obvious people are voting for how they say it.

I say it with 2, but it's really because I'm slurring the middle one really fast, so it's technically 3.

Asking a different question in the title than the poll is a whole other issue.

In speaking chocolate, the speed of saying it makes it easy to drop the sound of the second o. The co part of chocomountain doesn't really go away even if you say it fast. It can be de-emphasized, but it's still there.

Why would you ignore the "k" in knife but not in kitchen!?

Because the other letters in the word are relevant to the sound it makes.
