"Pronounciaton :- "Doose Ex", "Day-us Ex" or "Due Sex""

Well?

Shanks is obviously correct, his intelligence can be seen by the fact that he spelt "Pronunciation" correctly, not "Pronounciation" as many people think. Anyways, if you call it "Due Sex" then you might as well write "color" and refer to petrol as "gas."

Its Dey-us Ex. .. from the Latin expression deus ex machina;

Pronunciation di Es ehks mae kih nE
de Us ehks ma ki na

Definition 1. god from a machine (Latin); in ancient Greek drama, a god brought in by a mechanical contrivance to resolve a plot or complicated situation.

Definition 2. an external character, force, or the like introduced artificially to achieve such a resolution of plot or situation, as in a modern dramatic production.

Check the Pronunciation Key.

I used to say that, but then I heard it pronounced "Dayus Ex" and realised that was correct, if you look at the way it's spelt:

Deus
Dey-us

If it was Juice, it'd be Dues.
