5. You forgot vAYZ
I know someone who insist that it's VAHZ for one and VAYSES for more than one.

10. Uh, as I understand it,
one goes on a table, and the other is bigger and goes on the floor.

But I forget which is which.

I might have imagined this whole thing, though .........

26. vAYse
I always assumed a "vAHZ" was some sort of highfalutin' type of vase I've yet to see, and that would probably look down its nose at my presence!

28. I say it either way
and I pronounce THAT word, "EYE-ther" instead of EE-ther.

Just a difference in regional dialects. I tend to pronounce words as a Bostonian that other parts of the country might find amusement with. WE tend to pronounce them as our mother country does. :P
