"Use Year" = Youz Year or Yoose Year?

[CaptainAmerica]

How do you pronounce it? Is it a noun or a verb?

I've always pronounced it like the noun, as in "the best use (yoose) of points."

Sean Faulk on The Dis says as a verb, as in "the best way to use (youz) your points."

I always thought the other members of The DVC Show were just too polite to correct Sean, but I'm sitting here on hold with Member Services and the repeating spiel keeps saying Youz Year the same way Sean does.

I’m on the Yoose bandwagon

 

[com_op_2000]

I am neither of those.
UY = Use Year, the year that the points are available to be used.

 

[gregskellington]

I'm a Yooser

 

[Sandisw]

I pronounce it the way I’d say..put it to good use.

 

[Chuck S]

Your Yoose Year is the year in which you have to Youz your points. Youz = verb Yoose = noun

 

[Spivey378]

Yinz year.

 

[Grumpy by Birth]

Yoose

 

[DonMacGregor]

It's no use. People will use both pronunciations.

Was just gonna say that! YOUSE FOR LIFE over here

 

[DisneyStarWisher]

I was thinking the same thing when I was on hold the other day with MS. I have always said "yoose" year, but I noticed the recording was saying "youz" year. It made me wonder if I've been saying it wrong. I am definitely TEAM NOUN!

 

[mgarbowski]

Yoose

Never occurred to me there could be another way.
The yuze people are not to be trusted.

[SteveAZee]

I go back to 1993 and I've only heard "Yoose"

 

[bwvBound]

Yoose

 

[zavandor]

Not native English speaker here: I never knew you can pronounce "use" in two different ways
You learn something every day. Anyway, in my ignorance, I've always pronounced it Yoose.

 

[jbish]

Yoose for sure. Never even occurred to me to say Youz year.
