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.)

Yes, but we all know US English is a totally seperate language to UK English - they don't like double-letters, the can't understand "ph", they replace perfectly sensible words with different words, etc!:p
