SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223

[Tvtyrant]

But...that's a completely different pronunciation to the actual word? Z and S are most definitely not pronounced the same, at least in the UK, and I'm struggling to think of another letter combination that would actually sound like Z does.

Yeah but there are very few overlapping words with a and s, the syllable isn't needed. We lose zounds to sounds.
