Do you pronounce Neither as 'nee-ther', or as 'ni-ther'?

Do you pronounce Either as 'ee-ther' or as 'i-ther'?

And why?

 

I'm an 'ee' man myself, but I don't know why.

Definitely EE, somehow the other way seems like a lot more effort.

Many years ago there was a song by a male and a female who made films together, it went like "You say neether and I say nither" "you say eether and I say ither" lets call the whole thing off!!! anyone else remember it?

Wow.. I'm the only person so far that pronounces them as 'i'.

I think it's one of those things that come with a person's accent, and also how you pick things up from parents and teachers.

Just doubled the vote for 'i'.

I also pronounce it I, Niether
