Do you say ee-ther or eye-ther.
I say eether. Does it depend on where you are from?

Isn't eye-ther the correct phonetic form of spelling the word? At least it's the one I've always used and heard by almost everyone. I wonder what sort of people say that other way of spelling? Maybe australians as they like to always shine out more than others with their remarkable accent? ;)

I say ee-ther. I am from the South in the USA but I live in Nicaragua. I didn't think I sounded very "southern" anymore until I heard my parrot repeat something I had said a few days ago and he did it with a southern "twang." But then, he likes to exaggerate sounds anyway, so he picked right up on it.

I pronounce either as ee-ther thou I am from India but I am now living in US and I guess was saying that in the same way as I say it now.
