THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, yet never in a thousand years?

Professor Quantum enjoyed ending his lectures by posing a challenging riddle or puzzle to his English students.  Quantum instructed his class to write their answers to his question on a slip of paper, and then wait in line until he called out their names.  Quantum’s question was:  “What is a five letter word in the English language whose pronunciation isn’t changed by removing four of its letter?
