Being half-Irish, I'm more at home with the word with the added 'e' - to me it adds a certain quality of resonance that is missing in the more common spelling. Just say out loud - Total SHIT!! - and then - 'Total SHITE!!'
Ah well, you either get it, or you don't.

bigguyI once read a police report involving a stolen “six hour” pistol. If it doesn’t immediately translate say it out loud.
Anyone care to guess the manufacturer of the pistol the reporting officer was issued?
