How do you say it? Is it "Spells-kite" or "Spell-skeet"?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if you are 'subtly' trolling or not. =) Just in case:

skite1 Scot
vb
1. (intr) to slide or slip, as on ice
2. (tr) to strike with a sharp or glancing blow
n
1. an instance of sliding or slipping
2. a sharp or glancing blow

It fits the flavor of the card. It is pronounced "s-kite" (as from your example).

As to the other pronunciation, this is almost obligatory: Skeet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv-E8gb3d84) ("SPeeeeellll Skeet skeet skeet skeet..." has a certain ring to it). The Urban Dictionary definition (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skeet).

I don't know about you, but I'm going with "sky" (kite) rather than "ski" (skeet) on this one.

This reminds me of a guy I know who always pronounced Erratic Explosion as "Erotic explosion."
