I pronounce it PAH-RUH-DIME like para in parachute

I say JY-ROH even though I know it's wrong. New Yorkers also say KUHNISH--one syllable--for knish (this is correct) and FOE for pho (actually pronounced like the FUH in the commonly used four letter word).

Re: When Giving Directions...
 

it is pretty standard to pronounce it either way
