What do you think the pronunciation should be? "LEE" or "LAY"? Stress on which syllable?
/IL e ism/ tells me it would be pronounced like ILLEGAL
IL-e-ism
except that illegal is pronounced: il-LEE-gul
so although you got ILeizem about right, your like is lacking.

Huh?
IL-LEE-GULL, as you explained is what I was trying to propose.
Does that not answer the original question (LEE or LAY)?
You have confused/confounded me.

I read yours as proposing that illeism was pronounced "like" illegal; i.e., ILleism :: ILlegal, complete with misplaced emPHAsis.
sorry for the misunderstanding.
