Ditto for me, I used to say neesh and everyone looked at me like I was shitting on them, so I brought it down to nitch. After 7 years of saying nitch it seems more people are saying neesh.

I guess the moral of the story is you can never win and you're better off just staying true to yourself.

I think it's more of an american thing to say nitch. I can't really imagine many europeans calling it anything other than neesh.

No where on this page (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/niche) do I see a little pronunciation icon that says "neesh", so since I take the advice of an actual dictionary over the drivel of a idiot who can't pronounce a word properly, I call it "nitch".

nitch, people pick and choose which accents they want to keep on words... once its been mericanized, its NIIIIITCH!

ive heard many say "neesh" though, and understand why, but there are so many English words that are not pronounced with their intended pronuciation, why start with this one? lolz

Exactly right.

Merriam Webster shows the first pronunciation as "nich" and secondary ones as neesh and nish.

So I would say nitch is most correct according to the dictionary. Can't really argue with that.

Niche, it's a french word and I say it the original way because I don't like to conform to words americans have changed the pronunciation of "just because".

http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/niche.html

niche [ nich, neesh ]
noun (plural nich·es)

both

Same etymology, same pronunciation

BTW, in french, 'niche' means dog house / kennel :D
