I've never heard anyone pronounce it "nitch" in the US, and I would point and laugh at a person if they did.

"Nitch" is definitely how everyone in my family says it. I pronounce "immature" in a real weird way. "im-uh-toor" as opposed to "im-uh-churr" if that uhhh helps. Comes from being raised partly by my grandmother. I did not inherit nitch from her but gently caress if I can ever manage to not say imatoor every single time.

For some reason I sometimes pronounce it nitch and sometimes pronounce it neesh. No idea why I do that, don't think there are any other words that I pronounce differently at different times.

Coincidentally, "immature" is a funny one along those lines because I always want to give it more of that "choor" sound when I'm talking about biological aging, and "churr" when I'm talking about things like a teenager not acting like an adult.

It was nitch so often as a child in Minnesota in the 90s that when I was introduced to the neesh pronunciation in middle school, I was dumbfounded. Weirdly enough, my instinct is to use neesh these days, and I have no idea when that changed.

I've always heard both uses and it seems to be a personal preference. Doing a quick search, apparently both uses are consider correct with "nitch" being the americanized version.

I've heard both but always thought nitch was a different word that I didn't know the meaning of instead of an alternate pronunciation of niche.

A friend of mine was talking about fitting in to certain social groups and he used the term "little niches" and all I could imagine were tiny mustachiod philosophers running around going "god is dead! god is dead!"

Completely unrelated: Did y'all all know they changed April O'Neil from the first Ninja Turtles movie to the second one? I guess I never watched them back to back til today. Weirder is I remember the second April so i spent half the first movie confused about it.
