The spelling of the word "mis prizes" can be a bit confusing at first glance. It is pronounced /mɪs ˈpraɪzəz/ and consists of two parts: "mis" meaning wrong or incorrectly, and "prizes" meaning rewards or valuable things. The pronunciation is different from the spelling, as the "s" in "prizes" is pronounced as a "z". This might cause confusion for non-native speakers, but with practice, it can be mastered easily.
