Pronunciation of Plurals

"Processes," pronounced "processEEZ": plural of the imaginary Greek/Latin chimeric monstrosity "processis." 

"Processes," rhyming with "addresses": plural of the English word "process." 

"Process," being derived from Latin processus, the plural of which is processus, the last syllable rhyming with "juice," and not rhyming with "cheese" in any way whatsoever.

Enough said.
