  In my brain I usually say re-it-it, but sometimes I think "rye-tit" which makes me laugh and definitely seems wrong.

    Raitit (rye-tit) is a Finnish word too: the plural of "a lone village road splitting the village in half". Would make a nice library name. Wonder if Metosin takes requests...

    It's more like "ray-tit". A colleague at Metosin came up with a good alternative: "rate it!" Used in sentence like "I reitit 5 out of 5!"
