Any time I try and pronounce it with a hard S and not SH, it ends up sounding like a bad 90s parody of a gay man. I practically flounce.

I mean… If we’re talking about changing spelling due to pronunciation, there are other words much more fitting. Enough, women, ambition, etc. That’s how we get things like the Ghoti spelling of “Fish.” Or, for a Minecraft reference, ghoughpteighbteau instead of potato.
Language is weird, and it’s hard to map spelling to sound 1:1, especially over time
