Well, I've heard it pronounced: "likker-iss". But very rarely. I have a prejudice. Everyone I've heard who didn't "sh" with those words I deemed a "hoity-toity snob". That's interesting; will have to rethink my preconceptions. :) I knew one girl who pronounced "tissue" as "tissyou". My friends and I used to make fun of her for pronouncing it that way; we were all callow young'uns.
