Sketta is usually used by young, poor, inner city folk.

I say -ketta, because that is correct, but everyone around me says -shetta.

I will never dumb down. Next thing you know, you're saying dumb **** like 'irregardless.' The only time I've ever heard it correctly is at a tiny Italian restaurant in the North End run by a husband and wife.

Yeah, that's why it's not a huge issue. It doesn't come up very often. However, if you ever take a lady of the night out to dinner, your mind will be blown with their word choice and pronunciation.

It’s “broo-sketta” in Italian. How do you pronounce “Chianti?”

Anthony Hopkins slammed the door on any debate over "Chianti."

If you see a CH spelling in Italian, it's actually pronounced as a hard K sound, not as a soft “ch” sound as it would be in English. K: The last syllable is spelt C – H – I – so the C plus H is pronounced as a hard K sound. ... The last syllable “CI” is spelt CI. So we get the soft “ch” sound at the end.

Pretty sure I say shetta in restaurants because I'm one of the sheeple. No more!

sketta is definitely the "correct" way of pronouncing the word in Italian, but both seem acceptable.

I use sketta.

"Sketta" and Black Butte is a rare beer in that I have no idea how they do it, it's really fantastic.

I am sure you have discussed it before, but I every time I see him post I wonder two things: 1) how to say his name and 2) if that is literally the cutest dog ever.

I'm a fan of "Didace" like "Versace". But I suspect that's not how he thinks of himself.
