The spelling of the word "Curtice" can be a bit confusing as it is not a commonly used word. However, it is pronounced /kɜːrtɪs/ (KER-tis) using IPA phonetic transcription. The "C" is pronounced like a "K" sound, followed by the "U" sound represented by "UR" and then the "T" and "I" sounds. The final "CE" ending is pronounced like "IS" with a short "I" sound, which is why it's spelled with an "E" at the end instead of just "IS".
