I hate it. It doesn't sound right. It sounds like "asses"? :wtf:

Everybody I've ever heard say it says the first A long, as in "Date"

I've heard the "u" both ways, but the first A is always long.

[GHoosdum]

I agree.

I heard some reps at an event pronounce it like the Hispanic 'Jesus'.

It bothered me, and I decided that if that was the right way to pronounce it, I'd rather be wrong.

[primesuspect]

"aces"?

[RyderOCZ]

Ay-soos, but I do not pronounce it that way.

[primesuspect]

Yeah, but they're saying "asses" as in " I AM THE MAN OF A THOUSAND ASSES "

[Winfrey]

John McClane: Thanks a lot, Jesus.
Zeus: Why the hell do you keep calling me Jesus? Do I look Puerto Rican to you?
John McClane: That guy back there, he called you Jesus.
Zeus: No, he didn't, he said "Hey, Zeus." My name is Zeus.
John McClane: Zeus?
Zeus: Yeah, Zeus. You know, Mount Olympus, father of Apollo, don't f**k with me or I'll shove a lightning bolt up your ass, Zeus! You got a problem with that?;D
