Origin of the term "bus".  It appears to be a shortened version of the term omnibus and evolved from there : http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/omnibus.htm

 
Thanks. That's very informative. I din't know.

Being from the UK we say BUS.
I think it's just people typo'ing when they say BUSS.
 
Something is going on a bit like the pronunciation of the word "Linux":

I thought it was just a typo too, especially since I have made that typo, but I have simply seen a number of people do it intentionally and swear it is the correct way.
 
I find most manufacturers use "bus" but every now and then I run across one that uses "buss" like this example from the Slate Digital site.  The spelling is also in their manual:

Well... nobody knows...

People are blaming the British (not true!).
"Buss" is actually a kiss...
 
I still prefer what was suggested, seabass.

I think blaming the British is more of a guess based on that where US and Uk spellings differ, the UK version ssems to be more likely to have more letters.  We just assume the lazy version is the American ;)

Well I note that the British are actually blaming the British in that thread, which is bl**dy typical! ;).

Whatever the origin, it seems to be common enough that I would not think less of a person for using it.

Could we get back to how it is used?  I could care less about the history of the word.  How do people use the function?  Thanks for the vids- I will check them out later.

You have your answers anyway... #2 and #3. The rest is down to you...
Now to catch that bus...
Cheers...
