Does the first syllable rhyme with "mouse"? or "mousse"? Or any other sound?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I'm copyediting a cozy British mystery right now and I have to retain British spelling (and not use a serial comma!), and it's driving me nuts. All those extra letters! My red pencil hand is all twitchy.

I think you mean a cosy British mystery, ma'am.
And yet I'm a devotee of the Oxford comma. I wish I had an iota of consistency, but I fear that ship has sailed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If GHOTI is good enough for Bat Man, it's good enough for me.

She hasn't used the word coz/sy!
Ooh, look at that horror. That's the stuff of nightmares.

It does if you're Sergeant Major Sixta. POLICE THAT MOO-STACHE.

If ita wants to spell it moostache, I have no problem with that.

Woman Meets Cop's Taser Outside Wrigleyville Bar
Some post-baseball shenanigans got a woman shocked with a cop's Taser outside a Wrigleyville bar Wednesday evening.
A dance-off between two guys turned into a fight and spilled into the street outside Sluggers World Class Sports, at 3540 North Clark, witnesses said.
Dance-offs often turn into fights, huh? Now I wanna know exactly how that happened....
As one of the men was being arrested, his girlfriend became "very aggressive" and grabbed the shoulder and chest of one of the officers.
Women are often very protective of dance-off-having boyfriends. It'd be like arresting a bear cub while the momma bear is nearby....

Our wings are not tired.
It's weird. I will use "theater" when I am going to see a movie but "theatre" when I am going to see a performance.
