I heard that Royal Bank commercial too, it freaked me out. I've always pronounced it Ace-us.

a-SOOS is the proper/official pronunciation. I only pronounce it that way if I actively think about it. Otherwise, I tend to pronounce it AY-sis :p.

Yep, though I did have one guy pronounce it as Asses and he wasn't joking about it either.

I say Ah-Sus, but I guess the correct answer is A-Soos. Sounds a bit Taiwanese... Oh wait!
