Either and Neither

I want to know something about these words:
Which pronounciation is more common? 'naither/'nither

Thanks :-)

In America- eether and neether

In Briton- iither and niither

Britain! LOL the country! A person from Britain is a Briton!

You'll hear both in the U.S.

Really? I'm sure that is right but in which contexts? BRITAIN is a country. A BRITON is an inhabitant of that country! You cannot say: I am travelling to Briton next week.

I'm sorry. That's the homework I'm doing.

In "Lizzie McGuire Movie". Lizzie said "Me neither". She uses "me" as a subject. That's disgusting.

Damian,

Methinks mjd was referring to the American pronunciation of "either" and "neither."

It seems that either /i:TH../ or /aiTH../ is acceptable in Australian English neither /ni:TH../ nor /naiTH../ would be considered wrong. Perhaps /(n)aiTH../ (i.e. "ighther"/"nighther" or "eyether"/"neyether") is more common (than /i:TH../, i.e. "eether"/"neether" or "eather"/neather").

Jim: I did not understand much, but I think that you were saying that /aI/ is more common in Australia than /i:/. Well, I thing that /naIther/ sounds better than /ni:ther/

Damian,

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. As Elaine said, I was referring to "neither" and "either." One can't say "I'm travelling to Briton" in the U.S. or anywhere else for that matter.

"I thing" is "I think", I'm sorry.

Yes I was saying that /ai/ is more common in Australia than /i:/ but that you could hear either.

Ni:TH.. and i:TH.. are waaay more common in USA

I agree, but one will still hear "naIther" fairly often.
