Well, that's one of those things. Though my mother used "eye-ther," I
prefer "ee-ther." Once, I thought that only the ill-educated used, e.g.
"I'm done," rather than the proper "I'm through." Now, I sometimes get the
impression that I may be the only person east of the Mississippi who does
*not* use "I'm done," like a talking Thanksgiving turkey. 😜
