If your from England, then you can get away with pretty much any pronunciation with an English accent :bowdown: I love that accent personally :wavey: but they all have it right, thats where I'm from.

Sometimes I say "sear" sometimes "sare". You can say either.

I don't think I have ever heard it pronounced properly. I am in the Rochester area and I have always heard it pronounced sare in the beginning. I have never heard anyone use the "z" sound at the end either. sar ah cuse is how I have always said and heard it.

I worked there for 2 months, about 2 years ago, and everyone I came in contact with said sir-uh-kyoos. The dictionary pronunciation.
