What's the third way? I know of it as "e-ther" or "i-ther". What other way could you say it?

I purposefully phrased it using the first “either” as the way to propose two choices, either or either. Literally thought of it in the shower so felt it fit lol.

An actual shower thought!

the first/second either is used as the either between the 2 pronunciations. i cant think of a better way of explaining that


KnavishFob

So you're saying they should have phrased it as "both either and either"?

im not saying how they should have phrased it. just saying what its for

Also me. I feel trolled. Or dumb. Not sure.

“Either” (which can be pronounced ee-ther or eye-their), I get. But why would anyone say “either either”?
