FACADE, how to correctly pronounce this word
Hey guys, wtsup... So... I read in a dictionary that the correct way to say the word FACADE is like this: Fuh-Sahd...
My first impression when I read this word was to say fa-ca-de (don't making the c sound like S)
So okay I could assume what I discovered through the dictionary but then in my workplace some workmates of mine work with webdesign and there is a design method in English called FACADE but all of them pronounce fah-said....
So I wanted to correct them at first, but then I thought of asking you guys, is there other scenario where you pronounce the word FACADE like those guys are saying fah-said?

the second syllable is the same as the word 'sod' (prepared top layer of grass)
good luck!

I am a native speaker of American English, so I can only answer based on American English. I have only heard it the way you said it. It is possible they pronounce it the other way (fah-said) in British English or in Australia or Canada or India or whatever. But in American English, or is fah sahd.
