Pronunciation
In Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, United Kingdom, and Ireland, the word is pronounced /ˈɒzi/ OZ-ee (Australian English ), with a /z/ sound; however, in the United States and Canada, it is most often pronounced /ˈɔːsi/ AW-see with an /s/ sound. Pronouncing the word with an /s/ in place of the /z/ is considered by Australians to be a canonically American error—similar to pronouncing the last syllables of Melbourne and Brisbane as "born" and "bane", respectively, rather than with a reduced vowel.
