Actually I'd say Whiz, slightly differently from Wiz

So it appears that out of 55 respondents only three pronounce it correctly... Mr(no period)K(no period), bigdave(somegibnumber) and me.
Wis(hard 'ess')-bar.

I agree. It is pronounced just like it is spelled, \wis' bar\. I think a third option is needed in the poll. :approve:
