That would be true if there was only one "original" Latin way of pronouncing
in situ and your teachers knew it.  Why, though, should Latin pronunciation
be any more fixed geographically and temporally than any other language?

Bill Bryson has written a fascinating book on the evolution of English in
the US.  I think it's called "Made in America".  It's well worth a look for
anyone interested in the way language changes.

"US = in sighttoo" ...actually some of us who are old and brave enough to
admit to having Latin in high school(and Spanish) probably pronounce it
close to the original Latin way...

 use "in situ", lower case, but ideally italicised, as with "in vivo" or "in
vitro"

Now, how to pronounce it depends on where you are from

US = in sighttoo
NZ, South africa, Britan(?): = in seetchu

Others?

I know this is trivial, but what is the proper way to write these two words?
