    Cool We are no longer the knights who say Niche!

    Is it wrong of me to not want to say niche, but maybe niche as in nitch

    Niche (neesh) is the way we say it in England (and I think it is the Australian pronunciation as well) while Nitch is the US pronunciation. You can say it anyway you like (although, I am compelled to point out that there's a reason it's called the English language )

    Call it as you see it!

    Why not try and say it a super fancy way - maybe 'nigh-tch'?! Then you can sound all lady dah & fancy pants

    I say neesh when I refer to IM thanks to the videos I watched last year, haha. I use the "American" pronunciation elsewhere, otherwise nobody knows what on earth I just said.

    Here in Michigan, we say it "nitch" because it has an "i" in it. Otherwise, we might say we were be feeshing for good keywords to make us reech... (maybe even feelthy reech). At least that's how we say it here in Meechigan.

    I pronounce it "Dave" because I don't want anyone to know what I'm talking about.

    Cool

    Maybe, instead of niche we could say Ecky-ecky-ecky-
    ecky-pikang-zoom-boing-mumble-mumble.
