When did people forget how to pronounce niche properly? I keep hearing people pronounce it to thyme with itch. It makes no sense.

@quixoticgeek I think it's a British/American English thing (American rhymes with itch)...

@quixoticgeek you should cut all Americans out of your life to preserve the purity of your ears

@quixoticgeek Rather fitting given the subject!

I'm seeing the word niche split pronunciations between the architectural term and human term.

Only now I've thought about the pronunciations too much and my dyslexia can't remember which is which. Neech for humans, nich for buildings.

At least that is how (I think) I use them.

Most the time I spell it nitch. 😀
