Hello Everybody,
I wonder if somebody could help me by letting me know how the word "Preface" is pronounced.
Thank You,
Fathak

Preface is pronounced very strangely. 
Pre - Is pronounced with a short "e" sound as in the word "egg".
face - Is pronounced with the "a" as a short "i" sound and the "ce" pronounced with a soft "s" sound. So it is pronounced similar to the word "kiss".
I hope that was clear for you.

No offense intended to the previous replier, but I for one had trouble understanding the explanation, so I thought I'd chip in my two cents.
Preface is prenounced like "PREF-iss", with emphasis on the first syllable.
