Usage Note: In recent decades there has been a tendency to pronounce the plural ending -es of processes as (-ēz), perhaps by analogy with words of Greek origin such as analysis and diagnosis. But process is not of Greek origin, and there is no etymological justification for this pronunciation of its plural. However, because this pronunciation is not uncommon even in educated speech, it is generally considered an acceptable variant, although it still strikes some listeners as a bungled affectation. · Although the pronunciation for process with a long (o), (prō′sĕs′), is more usual in British and Canadian English, it is an acceptable variant in American English.
pro·cess 2
(prə-sĕs′)intr.v. pro·cessed, pro·cess·ing, pro·cess·es
To move along in a procession: "The man in the panama hat offered his arm and ... they processed into the dining room" (Anita Brookner).
[Back-formation from procession.]

pron: process, an early 14th-century French borrowing, has a regularly formed plural that adds -es to the singular and has traditionally been pronounced (-ɪz) Recent years have seen the increasing popularity of an (-ˌiz) pronunciation, perhaps by mistaken analogy with such plurals as theses and hypotheses. This newer pronunciation is common among younger educated speakers.
