I don't know who that imposter above was, but it was not I who called into question the validity of the word "shite". It is, I have long known, a commonly used term, which is often used as an adjective, roughly equivalent to the North American "shitty": possessing many of the qualities of feces. For example, I would say that jOhn from Hull's use of grammar, spelling, punctuation, and indeed the use of the English language in general was the very definition of "shite"--the same for his opinions and attitudes. If he is insistent on advertising his ignorance and arrogance to the world on this new technological marvel you call the Internet (a lovely term), then he should expect--and indeed welcome--criticism and disagreement. That is just my spectral opinion, however.
