 British pronunciation of "EITHER" my English teacher once told us that one of the two ways of pronouncing either is more common in BrE. I don't remember which one is that one, /ˈē-ther/ or /ˈī-ther/? I hope you will be able to help me, Sim. |

| Re: British pronunciation of "EITHER" Those phonetic transcriptions are wrong, but you seem to have made yourself understood. (It's [aI ðə]) |

| Re: British pronunciation of "EITHER" I got the translation from the merriam-webster online dictionary, which seems not to be using IPA phonetics... |

| Re: British pronunciation of "EITHER" Well, to be honest, I never regard any dictionary as worth its salt if it uses anything like that popular approximation of intuitive spellings. |
