STRAIGHT ON HOW TO SPELL THAT I'D APPRECIATE.

I suppose "CAPICHE" is for "  CAPISCI A 'MME'  " (Naple slang) that in
italian is "capiscimi=capisci me=understand me"; it's like to finish a
sentence saying "do you understand me?"
It should be pronounced:
"ca" like in ca(r)
"pi" like pi(stol)
"sci" like she
"am" like am(erican)
"mè" like  meh
Sandro (obviously from Italy)
