Help[Opinions] C
in reply to a message by Adenydd
But I know a lot of people who say A or B. I just noticed that in my accent, for names ending in -us or similar sounds, I say [ɪs] after a consonant and [əs] after a vowel. I thought that was kind of cool.

Interesting observation! You're from the USA, right? I live in the Northwest and use pronunciation B.

Yep, I live in upstate NY. I think the vowel-consonant thing could possibly a matter of personal preference, iykwim, since there are slight variations even within regional accents. There might be people with similar accents as mine who only say [ɪs] or [əs] or say [ɪs] after a vowel and [əs] after a consonant. It would be fun to do a study on it!
