"I-T-C-H-I-N"

In Other Words...
Aunt Mercy put down her tiles, one at a time. I-T-C-H-I-N.
Aunt Grace leaned closer to the board, squinting. "Mercy Lynne, you're cheatin' again! What kinda word is that? Use it in a sentence."
"I'm itchin' ta have some a that white cake."
"That's not how you spell it.... There's no T in itchin'."
– Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures (2010)
