Dave, you must have heard of The Knights Who Say 'Ne'?  Or was it

I've always thought it was "Nee"!

Sorry to bring up an old thread (dons flame-resistant suit), but I've always
thought it was 'ni.' But maybe that's just mi.

I'd think 'nee' would be said 'nay.' At least in some countries.

I decided to go straight to the source.  A survey of numerous online sources
shows a universal spelling of "ni".  Now, I know to take what the intarweb says
with a grain of salt, but 8 different websites can't all be lying, can they?
Maybe they can...it's a conspiracy of epic proportions!
