(...) I say para-Dee-sa only because para-dice-a sounds totally cornball. I actually misread it the first few times I saw the word and thought it was paradisia which I pronounced para-dee-see-ya. Oops. Chris (23 years ago, 31-Mar-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) I've often wondered about that. I suppose I tend to say "Par-a-DIE-sa" just because it's a permutation of the word "Paradise." And remember kids, Technic = "Tech NICK" Technique = "Tech NEEK" (23 years ago, 31-Mar-02, to lugnet.town)

A bit of a silly question, I know, but is it "Para-DI-sa" or "Para-DEE-sa"? I searched the newsgroups for previous comments on this subject but came up empty-handed.
