I had no idea there was a debate about this until I heard a friend of mine say, fishen. Looks like I am in the minority in some polls like this one:

quote:

Which of the following best reflects how you pronounce the word 'fission'?

View Answers
fizhen (rhymes with 'vision')
73(42.2%)
fishen (rhymes with 'mission')
84(48.6%)
I use both pronunciations
15(8.7%)
Other (specify in comments)

Chances are your job isn’t important enough to where you’ll ever have to pronounce it correctly.

We are part of a project. I can't really discuss anything more for fear of getting fired.
