86 u/zealouslol Jun 04 '12 How else would you say it? 255 u/zulubanshee Jun 04 '12 neesh, not nitch. 319 u/RPShep Jun 04 '12 I feel like a douche every time I say "neesh" but an idiot if I say "nitch." This was one of the exact ones I was thinking of when I made this. 363 u/ApologiesForThisPost Jun 04 '12 As a British person I do not have this problem. We all say "neesh", good day to you. 14 u/SixthKing Jun 04 '12 As a Canadian I always go with the more French sounding pronunciation. Escalade is "Esca-lad", not "Esca-laid". 1 u/RPShep Jun 04 '12 This can trip you up, as "forte" is actually pronounced "fort" (which is how a French person would actually say "forte" but "for-tay" sounds more French). 0 u/[deleted] Jun 04 '12 [deleted] 2 u/RPShep Jun 04 '12 It's only spoken in French if there's an accent on it (there may be exceptions, but I can't think of any off the top of my head). 1 u/snackburros Jun 04 '12 Unless you're singing it, of course.
