Syllables
... in the word "happen" the spelling includes two ps, and the orthographic syllabification is
hap.pen. But the pronunciation has only a single p , and the syllables are ˈhæp and [SUP]ə[/SUP]n.
(source: J C Wells, Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, 2rd edition, 2000)

But I would prefer ˈhæ and p[SUP]ə[/SUP]n (i.e. ha.ppen) for its phonetic (spoken) syllables.
Is my personal preference acceptable?
