May has just reminded me...
How do you say either and neither?!
I pronounce them like ee-ther
Not eye-ther
What about you?

Re: May has just reminded me...
As long as I can remember, both forms of pronunciation are valid.
I chop and change between them, for no particular reason!
In some dialects, it's pronounced eh-ther!

I thought, l knew which way l normally pronounce the two words but thinking about the words. I wasn’t sure.
I have now thought about them in a fresh mind and l say,
eyether and nyether
