Alrigh, I though the rule in English was if a vowel is followed by another vowel the rist vowel is long not short, so niche would be pronouned to rhyme with night or niceh long "i", but wait we are talking English and there really ar no rules are there?! You're right though it is niche, breaking the rules of English.

Anyway this is a horse racing/handicapping forum right or is it righte!!! Kidding of course.
