Arcenio,
You are right; well almost.
I looked it up on my universal sous(e) si spell checker and yes it says the correct spelling is, in fact ‘S-O-U-S S-I’. However, it also says the phonetic spelling should to add a ‘D’; however the ‘D’ is silent. (now only a true Sous si phonetic dictionary would add a letter – then it is silent)

And alternative spelling is offered by old sous sid buddy Dan. He says to put an ‘E’ on the end – since it is like tomato’e’ or potato’e’ an E never hurts. So there you have it.

sous si
souse si
sous sid
souse sid

These are all considered correct.
To be truthful - those of us form that part of the city NEED lots of ways to spell stuff. Otherwise, well you know.
