Hubby and I were driving somewhere the other day, listening to National Public Radio when I was quite startled to hear someone say "hoo-bree'", and by the context I knew they meant hubris. Now, I say duh-bree' for debris, but I've always said hoo'-briss for hubris. I was mildly panic-stricken, thinking that every person who's ever heard me say that will think know I am a dunce.
I just listened to the pronunciation on Merriam-Webster's web site: WHEW!
