Well, he is a good story teller. Although sometimes his Scottish accent gets a bit thick and I don't know what the hell he's saying.

In my mind I've always pronounced it as "shawn-chii" (with an 'i' sound)

See, I thought it was "Shawn-Ch'ai" like the tea. In east africa they have a spicy tea called chai and that's how u pronounce it. Originally Posted by Fox

I think our pronunciation is the same, actually. I don't think I did a good job typing out what I meant lol.

He's not scottish, he's from Newcastle, the Geordie accent does sometimes get confused for scots though I guess.
Also there is an Irish "rebel" hip-hop group also called seanchai, pronounced shawn-ah-key
