Niche drives me nuts as a French speaker. It is not Nitch. It is Knee-shh. I will die on this hill

Could y'all please stop dieing on hills all the time?! I love hiking, but all the corpses are really disturbing.

As a non-French speaker, I completely agree with you. If I use a borrowed word, I do my best to pronounce it like a native speaker would.
