How to say "either" and "neither"

[W Brewer]

either [EYE-ther ~ EE-ther]:  Probably c. 1962, Brother Regan (EE not AY)
told us boys a joke about an Englishman & an American arguing over the
pronunciation of <either>, so they asked an Irishman (or maybe Scotsman) to
decide: <<[AY-ther] will do>> he says.
