The pronunciation (ˈaɪðə(r)), though not in accordance with the analogies of standard Eng., is in London somewhat more prevalent in educated speech than (ˈiːðə(r)). The orthoepists of 17th c. seem to give (ˈɛːðər, ˈeːðər); Jones 1701 has (ˈeːðər) and (ˈaɪðər), Buchanan (1766) has (ˈaɪðə(r)) without alternative (see Ellis, ''Early Eng. Pron.'' ix, x.). Walker (1791) says that (ˈiːðə(r)) and (ˈaɪðə(r)) are both very common, but gives the preference to the former on the ground of analogy and the authority of Garrick. Smart (1849) says that 'here is little in point of good usage to choose' between the two pronunciations, though in the body of his dictionary he, like earlier orthoepists, gives (ˈiːðə(r)) without alternative.
