I think he is saying he has heard a THIRD pronunciation, with no S sound in it at all.

And since language is fluid, and dictionaries report actual usage, not prescribed, mandated usage -- perhaps more pronunciations are in use in different areas.

I suspect that conflicts with JSWolf's rigid beliefs, though, so he will not accept this.
