The word use, and derivatives of it like abuse, misuse and re-use, has two different pronunciations. If it is a verb then the final consonant is z , but if it is a noun the final consonant is s. The same is true of the word is excuse.
There is a similar situation with the word diffuse. The verb has a final z, but the adjective of the same spelling has a final s.
