either

It's either either, or either, but it can't be either either OR either, but I suppose it could be either AND either, because either either sound okay, and I often pronounce either either.

.....moron.

According to Longman Pronunciation dictionary:


in the US:

either /eether/ 90 %
either /ither/ 10 %


in the UK

either /eether/ 10 %
either /ither/ 90 %

I asked this same question a while ago and some answers were that it was a matter of preference while others said that using the "ither" pronuntiation could be considered somewhat pretentious.

Just take at look at this:http://www.antimoon.com/forum/posts/6617.htm

ee-ther / eye-ther way is acceptable....same goes for nee-ther / neye-ther. I always do the "eye/"neye" bit personally, but what the heck...who cares! Vive la difference!
