Do you say it like "pehr-less" or "pearls"?

Or do you just say "overpriced"? (only joking, their haberdashery is worth every penny)

Why in the world would you say it like that?

And it's "Per-lis"...

Hey, I can pronounce "frick YOU"!

And I'm not a Philistine, as I was not born in Philadelphia...

Per-Lis

but like Rubenstein's or Goldberg's when I went there as a child I almost always heard it pronounced as it was possessive.

So Per-Lis-es
