Mitsubushi?

If I'd been going to guess which of the maldistributions  (dystributions?)
of U & I  would prove most hit on, I'd have  thought I I U I, on the
grounds of Mitzi's being a familiar nickname that trips readily from the
tongue.  (I assume the "bush" syllable is more "boot" than "book"?)

"Mitzi", familiar? To those of us of a certain age, yes, but not, I'd wager,
to most Internetters. Or do those grinning emoticons hint that you're not
serious?

I'm not willing to guess lax vs. tense from this data.
