I love that of all words that can be pronounced either way without being considered 'wrong', this one is it.

I read this as 'eyether' in my head, and then realised I finally have an answer to the poll. Thank you kindly sir.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who says both and has no idea why Tongue I've even developed made-up, subconscious rules.  I'll find myself thinking, like, "damn, no, I meant eye-ther!" like I would for farther/further.  I'm not sure what my internal rules are, but I'm pretty sure (like King) that "eye-ther" is the version I use in fancier contexts Cheesy

Option 4 (both), though predominantly option 2 (eye-thur). "Neither" follows the same pattern for me.
