So why is it that the school in Indiana, instead of being pronounced "No-tra Dom" is pronounced "Noter Dayme"?

Allow me to assure you.Fun fact I legit had no idea chic and chic were the same word for years. Nobody really uses it anymore but back when they did, it took me a looooong time to realize it. If someone had explained that this was a French word, I might have been able to piece it together, but "sheek" sounds pretty much like a lot of English words (sheer, sheep, sheet) that definitely don't begin with "chi." --- There's a difference between canon and not-stupid. ...
