I can no longer look at words that ends with “-ace” without trying to pronounce it as “-acé”. (see: Dr. Beardfacé from Scrubs)

Other words that work well with this pronunciation:

1. subspace (thank you, Linear Algebra)
2. nerdface
3. whoreface
4. shoelace
5. interface
6. disgrace (thank you, J.M. Coetzee)
7. fireplace
8. hyperspace
