That just can’t be right. But now that I think about it, I believe Mr. David Green is nearing that magic number also. Wow! I wonder how old that makes me?

I believe the rule is that if there are two consecutive consonants, the vowel preceding them is prounounced with a short sound. If there is just one consonant, the prior vowel is sounded long.

(I know I worded that very awkwardly but at least I know what I meant).
