Niche - how do YOU pronounce it?

Pronouced here as it reads for me... "neeTch"

 

Hmm, MySQL Pronounced:

My S Q L ?

or

My Sequel ?

 

I say "My Es Cue El" hah.

I know someone who says "My-school"

 

On a video tutorial it was pronounced My Sequel, but i have never heard it voiced by anyone else in person so im none the wiser.

 

Hmm maybe It's MY-sequel because the SQL may be abreviation of it.

 

neat - sh ...........

^^^ Has sounds ^^^
both nitch and neesh are correct.

 

I like to say Neesh but everyone around me says nitch.

 

...nich -- the e is silent.

 

I guess it's French, the original would be neat - sh
but in English we can say nitch

 

If you don't know the difference between you're and your, then you're not speaking/writing English.

Are you talking about Herb as in the name, or herb as in herbal tea? Because I don't know anyone in America that pronounces herb (as in herbal) with the h.

Do you think people were as stubborn as you hundreds of years ago when English morphed from Middle English to the English we know today?

We could all be speaking like this:
Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote

 

lol, not aimed at you my friend, the first line was from eddy izzard. I guess when people drop the F-Bomb in forums it usually means they're in an argument, just being funny

 

Dramatic irony

Exactly - English morphed within England. So America's take on their own English is not a 'morphage' within England. 'Tis different.

 

Does anyone else think that we should let this "Nit-ch vs. Nee-sh" thread die already?

 

I thought it was Nish

 

I always called it Nitch, never even knew about "neesh" that just sounds funny but I may use it just because it does sound funny.

 

It's another example of how we must be mindful when communicating across the pond; things aren't always what the seem.
I say Neesh, but I have to really because I work for Neesh Enterprises.

 

Since being from Finland I can pronounce it the way I want "niiikhey" or "neeshe" might be close
