How Do you Pronounce Prius?
I've been wanting to ask this for ages, but now with all the media coverage of the braking problems on the new Prius I thought I'd take the plunge.
Is it pronounced 'Pree-us' or 'Pr-eye-us'?
I've heard both versions this morning on BBC Radio 4, and they're usually pretty hot on correct pronunciation-so which is correct?
