Most people I know pronounce it with the soft U sound.

I pronounce it cuv-en (cuv like cub with a v).

Yeah it is. I loved it.
Life moves quick, if you don't stop and look around once in awhile you might miss it.

Beauty fades, your spirit is forever.

The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren't paying attention to before.

oh wow, when will this question end? Of course, now that people aren't stuck on how to pronounce athame, they're onto coven. What's next "gardnerian", "ritual", "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"?

Mary Poppins is the awesomest musical movie. *Sings in her best Mary Poppins high pitched british voice* A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go down, the medicine go down...
