So, the same as here then. The only possible reason for confusion I can think of is that a minority of (posh) British people might pronounce suit as "sewt" to rhyme with newt.
that IS how we pronounce suit, as in newt.

I meant S-OO-T, phonetically. Not soot and is foot (meaning the stuff you get on your face from chimneys)

in america, suite is sweet

suit is soot
No, everywhere it's sweeet, I don't care what you say, if you disagree you are wrong, because that is the right pronunciation.

Besides, I don't think Neil Diamond could be wrong. Have you heard Crunchy Granola Suite? Yes? Well then you understand that Neil Diamond can't possibly be wrong, so if you disagree YOU are wrong.

Suit is soot, but it isn't always sooty.
(Not To Reamus) Oh, and if you actually thought it out, you wouldn't have had to make this topic in the first place, if you're speaking about english (Which you are) that "e" would turn it into what it sounds like now.

Here in Canada, it's A-Dough_be Sweet, suite referring to a set of matching furniture.
Suit is like Newt, and refers to something you may put in furniture, a closet probably.

Well I had never actually heard anyone say "soot" either. But I assumed some people had to of for the question to come up and all arguements over language are between American and England.

Don't worry, it's not like many of us can speak continental European languages. If you get to the point where you wonder over how to pronounce words like 'suite' then know a lot about the English language already.
