Forums - Gaming - How do You pronounce the word 'niche'

The correct way, as in "neesh". If it's good enough for the French...

It's 'neesh' with a little less sibilance than normal on the 'sh'.

This.





Need something off Play-Asia? http://www.play-asia.com/

Most of the world (including the English world) pronounce it as intended (neesh), I have occasionally heard it pronounced Nitch in US English, not that strange as the US has deviated a lot of standard English over the years.



I say nitch

Most Americans I know pronounce it neesh, in fact I've never heard someone pronounce it any other way without being corrected by a grammar nazi.

That's your problem right there. US english is an oxymoron.



 

American English is closer to the original British English than the current British English is, because British English has been influenced a lot by Europe. So if you wanna talk semantics, US English is closer to the "original" English than British English is.

If you really wanna talk semantics, English has always been influenced a lot by Europe.





For me it's entirely depends on context.

"neesh" - a cubby where you store things.

"nitch" - when you found something you can do or product that is in it's own demand.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
