Deep Thoughts

Help settle a debate currently raging around here:

"Promenade" - is it pronounced promen-aid or promen-ad?

Keep in mind, the debate was sparked by the daily reading of a book that features a cow dancing with a pig.

When people say parenthood is fulfilling, they don't mean on an intellectual level.

Sorry, I haven't been by for a while. According to the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary (which has the advantage of sound files that let you *hear* how the word is pronounced in the events you can't figure out all the diacritical marks and accents and whatnot - M and W's preferred pronuniation is prom-n-aid, with the secondary pronunciation as prom-n-odd.

But you probably figured that out already...
