    Actually (pronounced acktschually) it’s ‘shayz long’ The ‘s’ is usually only silent when it’s the last letter of the word.

      You should hear how the French pronounce it. Can’t even recognise it as English anymore.

        Why do you say that? It’s just chez long. At worst it’s like chez long-uh. So it’s really just a different accent more than anything. Also, the word is french not english so…
