One of the trickiest words imported into English, with a rare double vowel that is not a diphthong, followed by a silent "e." Readers are encouraged to find another word with a similar vowel pattern.
On to the pronunciation, then. Guess which one's correct.
a. Shee-it
b. Shit
c. Shee-ite
d. Shittee
e. Shytee
f. Shee-it
g. Sheeit-tay
The answer: h, "Sunni."

What then?
Then Mark Steyn is going to require a quadruple bypass.
