 Pronunciation. GREASY is almost always pronounced as /gree"zee/, with a medial /z/, in the South Midland and Southern U.S. and as /gree"see/, with a medial /s/, in New England, New York State, and the Great Lakes Basin. Speakers of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania are divided, with some using /s/ and some using /z/. Standard British English reflects both /z/ and /s/ pronunciations and British folk speech is also divided regionally, with /z/ heard in the eastern counties and /s/ in the central and western ones. Both pronunciations were brought to the colonies, where the present U.S. pattern emerged.
