The word "Stives" is an incorrect spelling of the town "St Ives" located in Cornwall, England. The correct pronunciation is /sənt aɪvz/, with the stress on the "I" and "ves" pronounced like "vize." The "s" in "St" is not pronounced as it is considered an abbreviation for "Saint." It is important to use the correct spelling and pronunciation of place names to avoid confusion and show respect for the local culture and community.
