unrequited

[pne]

I just found out that "unrequited" has a "quite" sound in it—I'd been pronouncing it with "quit" all my life.

(At least, that's how I've been saying it in my head. I don't think I've ever heard it spoken out loud, nor that I've had the opportunity to say the word out loud myself.)

Even as a native speaker, English throws me for a loop with words I've never heard or said aloud. Especially learning the SoCal dialect changes and pronunciations.
