How do you guys pronounce the word "azure" (the colour)?
All the dictionaries I've checked list /'AZ@(r)/ as the recommended 
pronunciation but I've asked two English people and they say they'd 
always say /@'zjo:/ or perhaps /@'Zo:/ or /@'zjU@/ (and permutations) 
but they wouldn't say or understand /'AZ@/
What do you say? (supposing you say anything at all, I know that's a 
pretty uncommon word)
