I may have to eat my words here, but I still think that it's a bit of a misunderstanding [also, I must unfortunately point out that I wasn't attemping to piss you off, as so many people are easily offended on IMDB.]
I already know that American-English spells the word as 'night', but I also know that 'nite' is also a recognised spelling for American-English.
The way I should have worded my post should've been to state that I think it's 'nite' due to the film makers maybe trying to appeal more to an American, or English-speaking audience, and that 'nite' is a sort of 'cool' way of spelling 'night' [I don't think it's cool, just wrong ;)]. I hadn't really thought it through, because of course any title given to ANYTHING is the 'artist's' intention [on the whole, i'd assume] - so I guess if the title was 'Oen Neti Ni KongMok' it wouldn't be 'corrected' or changed because the spelling is wrong, because it was clearly meant to be called that.
So, yes, I agree - I was wrong, but merely because I hadn't thought of that aspect. I'm pretty sick of American-English, though!
Thanks
