Today's Word of the Day is one of the most mispronounced of any.
I absolutely hate it when it is turned into a four-syllable word.
It's nothing of the kind. It has three (count 'em 3) syllables: MISS-chuh-vuss.
Far too many pronounce it as though it were spelled differently: Miss-CHEE-vee-uss. But "vous" is "vuss", and is not "vee-uss".
And no, it has no "alternate" pronunciation.
