   Hello there,

   Does ‘pressure’ count as well, or is there a slight difference in sound?
   Thanks!
   Ronel.

      Words like ‘mission” are here, the grapheme is ssi not just ss: https://www.spelfabet.com.au/spelling-lists/sorted-by-sound/sh/ssi-as-in-passion/

   I think it is ssu that make the sh sound. Not the ss alone.

      Really? So you think the final /ue/ sound is represented by letter e in this word? I can’t think of any words with that spelling, so I don’t agree. Alison
