Oh, and -- I'd always pronounced it (in my head, since I've never needed to say the word out loud) as "snooze." It makes sense, if you ask me. It's spelled similarly to the word "gnus" (which is the plural of "gnu," an African antelope species), and "gnus" is pronounced using the "ooze" sound. But I'm not Swedish, so, I didn't know any better.
