When you say "neither" or "either", do you pronounce it with a long "e" sound or "i"?
Either way, let's call the whole thing off.

I don't want to make a separate topic for this, either:
Do you say "grass" with a harsh 'a' sound like in "maths"
or with a long 'a' sound like in "spa"?
Long a for me. :tongue:

Why have you spelt it like that? I don't get it. :shrug: I know it's meant to be phonetic, but I'm on about the 'vuh' :conf:.
But yeah, the 'ee' option for me anyway, and I don't know anyone who pronounces it the other way. :hugesmile:

Grass (like the word ass)

I would say Eitehr or Neither with a long "E" sound.
Most of my pronoucations are quite posh e.g Bar-th etc...
But I never say Par-sta. :S

Only Americans say "par-sta" and "prar-cess" :rolleyes: Their language is like graffiti!

Yeah true, although I have heard a couple of people say Par-sta.
None, I say it with a th sound, not a v :spin2:
'Neether'
But I say both 'ither' and 'eether' for either.
