Now in English some words have different pronunciations according to where they are spoken in the English speaking world. There are many words that are pronounced differently in British and American English. for example. AluMINium that's British and aLUminum that's American. or vase [vayse] that's American English and vase [varse] that's British english There are a lot of regional differences too. within Britain This word. For example I'm from London so I say blood [BLUD] but in the north of England it'll be pronounced blood. Similarly it's bath [BARTH]in the south and bath in the north. However, there are a few words in British English that just have 2 equal pronunciations. It's not a regional thing there are just 2 pronunciations and both are correct Either is one of those words. You can say either [e-ther] or either [i-ther] - no difference. You can say neither or neither. Is there any time when you'd pronounce it one way or not the other? not really, I guess maybe for the sound you might choose one over for example either a driver or a diver he's neither a teacher nor a preacher But generally no just say whichever one you want As for the other words with alternative pronunciations in British English anyway. Garage [gardige] - garage garage is closer to the French where the word comes from envelope [en-volope] - envelope [on-velope] also closer to the French privacy [pry-vacy] - privacy [pri-vacy] scone [scon] scone - that's a type of cake. Just one final thing there are a few American words which are starting to be pronounced In the American way in Britain which leaves us with 2 pronunciations. so for example CONtroversy that's the traditional British way but now some British people are saying conTROversy which is the American pronunciation. Or adVERTtiisement that's the British way but you now some British people are saying like the American advertISEment. You also have often ans schedule this but that's controversial and in fact I've made some videos about that and I'll put a link in the description. Ok I hope that cleared up any confusion Thank you for watching more English language videos coming soon.
