A sight is an optical device used to assist aim by guiding the eye and aligning it with the weapon or other item to be pointed. Various forms of sights exist, such as iron sights, red dot sights, aperture sights (peep sight) and telescopic sights. For aircraft use there are also reflector sights and gyro gunsights.

A site is the location of an event, structure, object, or other thing, whether actual, virtual, abandoned (eg. an archaeological site), extant, or planned.

I'm only guessing here but "Night sites" is the correct term, I would bet that "Nite sites" is some company's copyrighted name.

Or somebody's no longer "hooked on phonics" (God bless them for kicking the habit).

Nite Sights vs. Night Sights

Lite butter vs. Light butter

Some people like my late grandmother and my current landlord took to spelling it "lite" several years ago after everything in the grocery store was being labeled "lite" instead of "light".

Site = Location

Therefore, Night Site is incorrect - which makes it perfect for a copyright. Even better would be Nite Site.

I am not interested in the sites of Chicago so much.

But when this white boy looks online I prefer to type the word "sights". The sights on my Remington 700 have been removed and I need some set screws for the front sight holes.

I don't use the word "lite" either. Ever. I would abbreviate it to "Lt" first.

I use N/S a lot....but I have noticed there are people using these words several ways in one ad. Its funny to see someone go back and forth on that as they go into the descriptions.

Site refers to a physical place like in job site, on-site, off-site. Nite is slang for night. So, correct English (American) is night sights.

No such word in my dictionary as "nite".

Therefore, the proper interpretation of the phrase "nite sight" is "(nothing) sight".

This goes in the same category as the rifles I see for sale with a "muzzle break". How the dickens do you break a muzzle? And don't get me started on "mussel loaders". I mean, suppose if you soaked 'em in Bourbon, the little bitty oysters COULD get loaded, but.....[:p]
