Pronunciations[edit]

Previously uploaded pronunciations included pee-seez and pai-siz. Are these correct? And could we categorize these by regional use? DAVilla 20:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

The spelling /ˈpaɪ.sis/ Sounds like "pie-seas", and is the pronunciation I normally hear. (Notice the ɪ, which represents a "short" i sound). The one that I deleted (/ˈpee.seez/) would be pronounced pey-ey-sey-eyz, which isn't even remotely correct. I see you've added /ˈpɪsiz/, which would sound like "piss-ease". --EncycloPetey 21:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

The only pronunciation I’ve heard in the U.S. is /ˈpaɪ.si:z/ replace : with ː, invalid IPA characters (:), with two long syllables. —Stephen 08:57, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
