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.

It's okay.

The non-irish half of me is English.

I 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?

Recently had a lawyer in Florida recommend we "might could" have our trust updated to meet the State of Florida requirements. This was in their email.
