it should sound like an "s"pronunciation of exception: ik-sep-shuh n"x" sounds like "ks", usually. The "c" in exceptioncarries on the "s" sound.
In words with 'ce' and 'ci' is the letter C always pronounced as if it were an 's'?
It is USUALLY pronounced as an s, but not always. There's the -cious words, where it has the sound 'sh': delicious precious specious meretricious etc. (not to mention 'licorice') Similarly, there the 'sh' sound for -cial words like facial and special. Also there are words that have been adopted from other languages but kept a trace of their original pronunciation: Celtic, for example. There are some other pronuniciations for ce, such as cello (pronounced 'chello'), cembalo (chembalo, with a 'k' sound). In the words foci and loci (acceptable plurals of focus and locus) the c is pronounced like a 'k'. The letter 'c' also makes the 'k' sound in the word 'arcing.'

What is the plural form for the last name Gautreaux?
I'd assume you'd add an apostrophe after the "-x", seeing as though English words that end in "-s", (with the "sssssuh" sound) have an apostrophe added after the "-s" so that the word doesn't sound like "-eses". For example, "The Kyles' family is an awesome family!!". You'd add the apostrophe at the end as opposed to an "s" or another "-es" instead of making "Kyles" sound like "Kyuhl-ziz". Just a guess.

sound in a poem can be created using onomatopoeia - words that sound like the action such as "bang" "crash".

Do you use a or an with word starting with s?
You use a. Use an only with words that start with a vowel sound.A word that starts with s cannot start with a vowel sound, unless the s is actually pronounced like the name of the letter, which is not common. For example, you would say an S-hook, because that would be pronounced an ess-hook. However, for "normal" words that start with s, the article a is correct, as in a serious problem or a sock.
