People who voted for the top option are THE CREAM OF THE CROP as far as I'm concerned, personally, to be honest, imo.

My brain sees two "s"'s (been a while since grammar class, I wonder if I did that right?) and immediately pronounces them the second way. Pus is such a specific sounding word, Puss sounds way more general and common, hence why that's what I hear when I see it.

I had to go look at a phonetic dictionary to find out that I have been mispronouncing pus all my life.

The good news is that I've always thought of PUSS as what pus actually turned out to be.

(I always thought of it as "fuss" but with a p)

For the sake of this poll, I will start pronouncing it as neither of those, and will instead say it with a long U, like p-you-ss.

 

Limited palette challenge engaged: "Puce XXIV - someone forgot to wash the demons separately and now everything is off-pink and reddish-brown!"
