“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
The Americans are confused when letter combinations like "ch" have a different pronounciation, so they just change it and tell people they're wrong when they say it the original way.
It's "NEESH", it's french. Sorry, I meant "it's freedom". Oh wait you can't do that when you're actually talking about the language.

Dictionary.com declares only one way 'NITCH'
American Heritage and Merriam-Webster both claim both methods are acceptable. however MW, long considered the authority on the matter of the 3 above mentioned sources... claims that 'nEsh' or 'neesh' is a "sometimes" used alternative. thus making people using 'nEsh' the minority.
Logical reasoning would thus lead me to conclude(in a black/white world) that if only one party can be correct it would be those saying 'NITCH'! Based on the fact that they are the majority.
so ha, fucking ha ha ha you dirty Canadians, sucks to be out numbered.
Neesh-a, I pronounce it with the last e. Before reading this thread it wouldn't have crossed my mind that someone would pronounce it "nitch". But then again I learnt most of my English from text books.
