"Housing" esposes more of the howz sound. The first is just howce.
Thinking about this more... I just realized something. I struggled with a lisp and speech therapy in grade school. I distinctly remember a lesson where I was being instructed on how certain words ending in "s" actually sound like "z" like "apples" and I was pronouncing it without the z.
I am thinking this may just be related to that.
- whycome 3y agoI was just trying to illustrate it better. I think the majority will say "howz new immigrants." There are a few weird "same-spelling" words. You can refuse to throw refuse in the trash can. You can estimate how many estimates you might get. But I suspect that you're not a suspect in this case. But, if you get close, I'll close this thread.

- psunavy03 3y agoThis thread is also getting into such detail that people's regional accents will start to come into play as to how they pronounce things. "Pin" vs "pen," etc.
