    Are you my aunt? That’s exactly how she says geese. Her husband says geese as “gays” with a sibilant s rather than the hard s.

      … how do you mean? S’s are sibilants in every variation I know if not silent like in French.

        I’m three decades away from my last class, but I thought that the ess sound than an s makes is called a sibilant, where the z sound it makes isn’t.

        Most people using the word “gays” will have it sound like gayz, or the word gaze. His is that sibilant s like in hissing

            See? That’s what getting old does to you, you forget shit left and right, or remember it wrong. I always recommend not getting old, just stop at 40.

            Seriously though, thanks for the correction.
