How should I pronounce the word 'either' ?

Question

Eeeeeither
or
Iyyyther


(Good Lord, I'm confusing myself now)

Answer 1

I think I read somewhere that its one of those few wierd words that you have to change the pronunciation at certain times......EYE-THER, when you are talking about people
eg "Either (eye-ther) you or I"

then EEETHER when you are talking about an inanimate object
eg "choose EEETHER one or the other"

Im not sure at all if this is right, but I seem to have dredged this up from the back of mind!!

Seems like a pretty good explanation though?

Answer 2

I think the pleasure of using the word in both ways, possibly inthe same sentence, outweighs any fixed choice.

Answer 3

It depends on the language you are speaking. If you are speaking English, it is pronounced "eye-ther" (to rhyme with "neither").
Do you realise that Americans do not speak English? They speak American !

Answer 4

First one, then the other.

Answer 5

Iyther, that's an I, not a L. But I don't know, it just comes out one way or the other, but if you think about it it sounds wrong.
I guess it's neither way. (Do you get it?)

Answer 6

either are acceptable.

Use whichever fits in with the flow of the sentence best.

Answer 7

Either rhymes with neither but you can say ither and nyther.

Answer 8

i always pronounce it "eye the" it just depends what country you're from,i suppose.either way it doesnt matter ha ha

Answer 9

The second.

Answer 10

eye-ther

and

Ny-ther
