Can't go with you on that one. The only place I ever hear it as two syllables is in "Kiss Me Kate," and it grates on me every time. But I shouldn't cast aspersions; It's always "ev-'ning," and the three-syllable version of that one sounds odd to me. -C _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
