The s in vision started to bother me.
… I’m reading Avengers fic, it came up.
But it’s not quite like other s sounds, so I just kept looking at Viz or Vis as abbreviations and they’re not quite right.
So I looked it up

wait, does that work? It’s a sort of curly z. ʒ
It says other words with the s-in-vision include
equation, usual, seizure, luxurious, genre and beige
which by my count means spelling it with an s, t, z, ge and half an x.
Unless it’s a translation, then it’s zh.
English!
So now Viz, Vis and Vision will continue to bother me
but in a more informed way.
