My roommate says, "Peh-Kahn" (from Texas) and I say, "Pee-Can" (from New England).

I know it doesn't matter, but I'm interested in seeing which one is the more prevalent pronounciation.

If 'persona non grata' is 'an unwelcome person', then can 'a beloved person' be something beginning with 'persona.....' as well? I'm thinking of a name for my short story, and want to have a bit of wordplay with the phrase 'persona non grata', so I'm looking for the word/phrase that has a familiar beginning yet contradicts in the end. But if that's not how it's supposed to be, I'm open to other suggestions. Would appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Okay, first question, can "any" go with a plural noun or is it always singular ? Second, do you Americans substitute everybody with "they". For instance, say "Everybody puts on their (or his/her) best dresses".
