    That's why we pronounce stitch as stitch. But mustache is pronounced mustash rather than mustitch.

    Hmmmm

    mustaCHE
    cliCHE
    caCHE

    all have the SH sound to me.

                        did someone slap all the americans with the idiot stick again?

                        Or did they forget that they aren't right all the time. (See "election 2004").

                                            Should be. Rhymes with COOTCH.

                                                I'm not owned. But you made a down payment.

                                                    Nice find. I think the English rule is that in this case if the che follows a vowel it will be 'sh'. Like Douche is doosh because the che is followed by 'U' which is a vowel.

                                                    It's not the case in avalanche and psyche. Remember 'Y' is sometimes a vowel (a,e,i,o,u, and sometimes y). In this case I don't think the 'y' is considered a voewel. Nor is N a vowel. And that's why they're pronounced differently. Psyche sounds like Sike and Avalanche sounds like avalanch.

                                                        If that's your opinion, then you admit the americans are wrong?
