I've always said hyoo-bris. You are correct, acc'g. to the dictionary I used. This is one word I don't hear enough (ever) around here to know if my mispronunciation is regional or just ignorance. There are a number of words which I say incorrectly, because if I can get the meaning from the context of whatever it is I'm reading, then I don't bother to LIU, and just make up whatever pronunciation seems possibly accurate.
