One last thought before sleep: what is it with people pronouncing “processes” and “biases” with a final long “e” (“process-EEZ”), as you would “theses” or “axes”?

That’s the word I was looking for: I had thought it was a species of hyperexoticism (I think that’s the word), like “habañero”

Now just loving the thought of pronouncing the normally long-e ones without it (hypothesiz, etc)

As someone who's native language isn't English I actually thought that for a long time and still sometimes forget.
