Thanks for another great episode! Actually I didn't know that there is a difference in pronunciation, so thanks a lot for making a simple but very useful explanation (this difference could cost a lot of embarrassment) :)
As you said, the 'as' is pronounce with z at the end, but unfortunately 'us' is pronounce with s and therefore hard for me to distinguish from ass. I wish it was 'AS VS. ASS VS. US'. However it's still a great episode - thank you.
