So that's how you spell 'Ni". And all these years I thought they were saying 'knee'.

[Mobyseven]

So that's how you spell 'Ni". And all these years I thought they were saying 'knee'.

Piffle. It's a short "Ni" sound. Besides, why would they say 'knee'? It wouldn't make any sense. Monty Python always made sense.

But seriously, it's "Ni".

On the serious side
