I will ante up on the Ant-ee bandwagon. What a terrible play on words I used. Excuse me while I boo myself.

I think it depends entirely on the word that it's attached to. I mean, you'd say an-tie-LGBT, but not an-tie-biotics, right?

I would use "ant-ee" in both cases, usually.

Just to stoke this bad boy up, how about the word Semi?

Sem-ee or Sem-eye?

Night Fury

Sem-ee; like, I've got a semi lady boner

Night Fury knows the score. I've heard American sports commentators refer to a sem-eye final. This is not a thing.

It is Sem-ee. The same as Ant-ee war or ant-eebiotics.

Or if you're a Yorkshire lass and you're describing an attractive male - "Ant-ee got a nice faace?"

Depends on the situation with anti, but semi is always sim-eye.

Because the word exists in my mother tongue I usually read it like "un-tee". When I do say it in English conversation I say "ann-tie".
