quick question.

[Zoomerang96]

how do you pronounce "either"?

a) eye-ther

b) ee-ther

that's all. as soon as you answer you may leave, you won't be wanted/needed any longer. lets make this as quick as possible.

 

[waynetravis]

I use both pronunciations depending on the situation.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I've never used the word out loud in actual conversation - only in prose, like here in this thread - so, I am afraid that I CANNOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

eether.

zoomers, please do some research into other annoying words like often (off-ten, or offen), schedule (shed-yule, or skedyule) and some others when I think of them.

thanks.

FYI i say Offen and Skedyule. I'm right like that, ok?

 

[Angela Harlem]

OH! Appreciate. is it: apprece-iate or appresh-iate? I reeally hate apprecie-ate. It's a Shhh sound. someone tell my sister-inlaw. thanks.

 

[martha]

both

Yeah it's the shh sound!

eyether or eether both work depending on the context!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

b for me...

Here's a question, schedule, is it:

Sh-edule

or

Sk-edule

See above, Elfa.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

See above, Elfa.

god dammit! I really need to get those reading lessons...

 

[snowbunny00774]

both.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

for those who said both, when do you use one vs the other?

 

[Zoots]

eether this or that: make your choice!

I don't know where he came from eyether!


I dunno... it's kind of fluid. Both would work in either case. I said eyether there, lol.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

funny, I was pronouncing it "eether" as I read all of this...

 

[Zoots]

Now I'm confused. eether does sound a little more correct.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

either way is fine Zoots... or was it either?

 

[Zoots]

 

[UberBeaver]

eether.

 

[Galeongirl]

depends on where you're from
eyether is british, eether is irish/american english...

I use both since I"m not native english, it depends ont he person I'm speaking to..

 

[MsPurrl]

yes

(eether)

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

yes

(eether)

no

(neether)

 

[powerhour24]

I use both pronunciations depending on the situation.

Same. Which when thinking about it seems really weird.

i don't believe that to be entirely true, to be honest. i do believe eyether is more prevelant in britain than america, but i also believe the history of that word would show that its changed back and forth over time in terms of pronunciation.

if you're interested in this, i can post the article where i got it from.
