see, in Danish, you pronounce it sort of like 'neesh' ( more like 'neeshuh' but whatever ) but I've heard it a couple of times this week pronounced 'nitch' on teevee, so I was confussled.

Was this, by any chance, in American tv shows?

*G* it's not an entirely American thing, and not all Americans say it like that but yes.

hmmm. I gotta admit, the people who said it looked like. um. *cough*airheads*cough* which is what got me wondering if it was correct in the first place.

lol yeah, it's definitely a certain type of person. Though I think I once heard Lionel Luthor butcher a French word in Smallville and really, that ws not something I thought he'd do!
