Since the gap between my knowledge/opinions and the facts seems to rival
the Grand Canyon in dimensions, I think I'll swear off offering opinions
and just keep asking an occasional naive question, like this one:

Can someone offer pronunciation help with the names D. Bonade and A.
Benade? Are they bone-aid or bone-odd and ben-aid or ben-odd? Is it
possible they're pronounced the same and thus even more confusing? It's
hard enough keeping them apart.
