: What about pronunciation? Do you use a "mor-tize-ing" chisel to cut a : "mor-tis"? :) Please "ad-vize".
Or, along the lines of choice/choose, should I mortoose my mortices :) ?

You forgot my way: drill press out waste with forstner bit and chisel out remaining waste. I'd rather pound them out by hand with a mortise chisel but I don't think my downstairs neighbor would appreciate that. :-)

By hand with a mortise chisel and a swan-necked chisel for clean up.
I don't drill out first, but instead use the method descibed on Jeff Gorman's (excellent) website.
why? 'cos I don't cut a high volume by many folk's standards around here, and because I'm enjoying honing the technique.
For tenons I cheat a little, cut the shoulders first, and remove to thickness using a router and a quick'n'dirty mdf jig. Mostly because I don't own a decent tenon saw yet.

Hand chiseled for the small one-offs. Drill press followed with chisels to clean for repetitive cuts. Own a router, but haven't even cranked it up yet. I always seem to do the work with a hand tool or other method so far.
Table saw and occasional handsaw for the tenons. Cleanup with a sharp knife for fit (I tend to make them a little large so I can trim down for a very TIGHT fit) and a small plane I picked up somewhere once.

The what is a drill press and cleanup with chisels. Tenons on the bandsaw.
The why is that is what I had to work with.
To clarify, I built a Tudor style garden bench with about 50 M & T joints. It was, for me, quite an undertaking as I've never done that type of joint. It gives new respect for the guys that make such beautiful joints, especially the neander way.
If I was to do it again, I'd probably invest in a dedicated mortising machine and a tenon fixture for the table saw. That works out to about $7 a joint for that project. Ed
