From the Gradual Interview today:
I pronounce caesure as "seizure". A deliberate play on both "caesura" and "seizure."

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

Now that we know it's pronounced "sea-shore", was it ever assured on

I pronounce it "see-zhur" (like "seizure") or sometimes "say-zhur".

As Joan was found at the "sea-shore" it seems obvious this pronounciation can also be used.
