i have heard several things.
1) "Uh-Zen-Knees"
2) "Uh-Zeen-Is"
3) "Uh-Zeen-Knees"

does anyone know officially?

note: i know this might sound like a stupid thread, but i was just curious.

I pronounce it "Uh-zee-niss" but, like other words, pronounciation might be different depending on where you live!
