In my own head I say ness or sness, but I've never heard any of those others out loud: nezz, ness, sness or snezz. I've only heard En-ee-ess or ess-en-ee-ess.

I can sort of see where a young'un today might think a single "s" at the end of a word always means a soft sibilant sound, That's obviously not the case, but bear in mind that we live in a country where kids think a sentence such as "I could of been alot nicer." is grammatically correct.

Maybe they were thinking of the Nazz?



@RugalSizzler: You're the last person I expect to criticize someone based on what they say or how they say it.
