if i'm talking in scottish slang i pronounce it like ee-ther because it tends to flow better, also because it sounds chavvy so fits in better :( this is the way i talk to family or friends really
but i prefer to pronounce it eye-there as it doesn't sound as uneducated lol..

THERE'S NO BOTH OPTION.

If it's normal talking I'll go ee-ther if I'm saying it in my head when editing a News Report I'll use eye-ther (A).

eeether is refering to people imo

I say both but normally ee-ther unless it's in the phrase 'either or' then I always say eye-ther

Both it depends on the sentence really. But probably ee-ther more often that's what I read the thread title as.

ee-ther but I have said eye-ther sometimes.

Depends on context i'm using it in I suppose.

I think I mainly say eye-ther

I kinda say both, but I more frequently say ee-ther. I'm quite partial to saying a bit of eye-ther every now and again though! :P

Hmm, I seem to use both depending on what I'm talking about. I use ai-thur in formal conversation when talking about something serious and ee-thur in informal conversation when giving advice to a friend or family member.

Apparently: Either (ai-thur) is British while either (ee-thur) is American.

Either ee-ther or eye-ther, depending on context.

Mostly ee-ther.
