    I say TOLL-keen. But I don't say it very often, so it doesn't matter.

    I'm not voting cause I'm the one who suggested this. I'm taking an online course and I have started a debate there so I wanted to see what the majority of people thought over here.

    TOLL-keen.

    At least that's how they pronounced it in LOTR DVD bonus videos, and I suppose they'd get it right. ;)
