    Everyone who has played through GTA 5 has heard the pronunciation “nitch” here: https://youtu.be/FlzZhGr8G9w?t=79

    I (nonnative speaker of English) used to think it was pronounced neesh because my first language’s cognate (Nische) is pronounced similar to that. But since hearing that scene I know that’s not universally the case.

      That is the first time in all my years that I’ve ever heard it pronounced that way, and now I’m wondering if I live under a rock.
