I absolutly love languages (speak about 3 different modern ones, read middle english well enough as well as latin) and often find that people will say things in their own dialect. For instance while in autralia i found out that the word cordial is pronounced there as cord-ee-al while here in my home state of NY we say cord-jewel. Even 200 miles away in Boston the word chowder is pronounced Chowdah dropping the "r" sound, even on Long Island where everypone sounds like they speak through their nose words are pronounced oddly from the rest of the country, hell upstate adds an "n" to the word "signal" so it comes out sounding like "sin-gnal"
As for the the word "lich" here is how I have always pronounced it: "Lish". Everyone knows the liches laugh, and the word in german means laughing, laugh, laughter etc. So I pronounce it as I was taught to do so many years ago by my off the boat grandfather (who came from Mannheim). Suffice to say, as mentioned before that there is no set in stone way to pronuonce things in english, for the most part just a regional way of doing so.
I have the best job: I get to legally deal drugs, electrocute you if I feel the need, and if I'm of a particular mood make fun of what ails you in the "kindest" of ways.

Though, if you pronounce it in any other way then my region. You will be mocked unmercifully.

I am a New Yorker, I know that everyone else has an accent, but not me.

When you play with fire, there is a 50/50 chance something will go wrong, and nine times out of ten it does.
