As a Brit, realise has three syllables, 'Re-al-ise', you're always pronouncing the 'al' like in the name 'Alun', then it usually flows into the 'ise'.

One. but adding the suffix "ize" changes the pronunciation, Queen.
Just not in English, Brute.
I'm not the queen, though I do sympathise that someone of your station may have difficulty differentiating status that so distantly dwarfs yours.
"As a Brit from the foreign language dominion of Wales"... yes, it also has three syllables in Welsh. I'm sure there are offbeat attempts at English from other places in the world that also erroneously pronounce it with three syllables. Subcontinental pronunciations, for example, tend to be very similar to Welsh ones in regard to syllables and tone.

Thanks. You actually bothered reading the whole thing ?
I think it sounds odd to stretch Aristotle into 4 syllables, so 'stotle' becomes stot*l.
Same with symbolism. To me 'lism' is one syllable, not lis*m. So it's sym*bo*lism.
But I will change it since it's technically wrong.
Killer is a rank 3 rhyme to sinner according to https://www.prime-rhyme.com/sinner.html
As a forced rhyme I've seen worse.
1
In a dream I flew out,
beyond the Moon and Sun,
to realise that we
and everything are one.
2
Suddenly skies were clear.
A veil was pushed aside.
The sun is just a star.
A door was opened wide.
3
The endless universe,
nothing is as it seems.
Nothing lies below us,
and nothing reigns supreme.
4
The firmament and stars
I've blown apart today.
Before us lays a path,
a pure and brighter way.
5
The world is infinite,
there is no down or up.
The woman's not below;
the man is not atop.
6
It's not symbolism,
fantastical ideas.
It's the physical world,
there are no borders here.
7
To see the opposites
and follow where they meet.
Such a profound magic,
revealing their deceit.
8
In poison we find cure,
a circle forms a line.
Anti-Aristotle
sees space entwined with time.
9
Look beyond the limits
and ask what lies ahead.
You must become a flame
so you are not mislead.
10
The hierarchy of fools
preserving old ideas,
in academic halls,
to anyone with ears.
11
Even the brightest minds
find my ideas grotesque.
Their world is breaking down:
the logic of the West.
12
From France to British shores,
my writings will be spread;
down through central Europe
- to Italy I'm lead.
13
Italy, my first love
my mother's tongue, so dear.
The final journey home,
returning without fear.
14
Was I invited here
as bait, a cunning ruse,
to the inquisition,
where sanity will lose?
15
I heard about my crimes,
but truth is not a sin.
My footsteps are the light
for others to walk in.
16
The bedrock of the Church
is shaken by my thoughts,
but I will not subside,
or change my burning words.
17
My innocence is clear
to a mind of reason.
If you follow logic
it can not be treason.
18
You think I will forget
so comical a trial?
Not even time will fade
a memory so vile.
19
As I kneel on the floor,
perhaps you sentence me
with greater fear than I
receive this travesty.
20
If I must burn for this
the Church is a sinner,
and will for years to come
be seen as a killer.
21
No amount of water
will clear you of this deed.
The smoke will show my will
and ashes be my seed.
22
You can light my body
and see it as a win,
but there will always be
truth burning from within.

Yes, I now feel as though I now know more than I could ever dream of about Mr. Bruno or whoever it was (probably had an "s" in it, or was he a charlatan?).
Interesting. Indeed, I barely noticed those two seven syllable lines, maybe because, as you say, the last syllable is unstressed, so personally, idk that I'd really bother changing them, I just pointed them out so you could decide for yourself. They still make sense, but the meaning is slightly changed.
That "ranks of rhyme" page though... if you ask me, 13 out of the 19 "rank 1 rhymes" simply do not rhyme at all... so rank 3? Gotta laugh!
I kind of miss the simple days when this thread was the domain of cold, hard grammatical truths. This spoken word stuff seems like a Pandora's box of tilt, as there are so many pretenders to the language, who tragically were not trapped in a room with only Julie Andrews films to keep them sane for their formative years and as a result, haven't the faintest idea how the language should be voiced, nor how to behave when they're blessed with that information by someone who blimming well does know.

If 'entertainer' is a rank 1 rhyme to 'sinner', then I can sure as hell rhyme with killer
I could talk at length about Giordano Bruno. Sadly he's not that known and not much is translated.
He's mostly famous for his mnemonic devices, but that's just a detail.
He built a whole philosophical system based on an infinite universe, essentially breaking down the most fundamental ideas of the 17th. century.
This whole thing started with me asking about the use of is/are. So it was on topic.
imagine not knowing realise is three syllables
Depending on your dialect it can be reduced to 2 or even 1 syllable. I love my country.
dialects are colonialism
Our language is colonialism.
Meevar represents the demise of the British Empire in pronunciation.
Or you grew up in the midlands like me. :/
Question: can the word outcome not be plural - outcomes - or is the word itself both plural and singular, like "deer" or "flour"?
If not, how do you describe more than one outcome.
E.g. "the action could result in many different outcome(s)..."
Would I just have to rephrase it, like: "the action could lead to more than one outcome"?

Outcomes is fine.
Yes, I think it has to be outcomes- it is just another word for 'result', so treat it as any other noun and in this case add the 's' for the plural. Though as you said Adorno, if you wanted you could rephrase it in the way that you did; "the action could lead to more than one outcome".
Thanks. Wasn't sure. My dictionary doesn't have outcome in plural.
And Cambridge Dictionary says " noun [ C usually singular ] "
