I pronounce it two ways and feel awkward every time
I pronounce it ant-ee.
Eetna
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?
like Fynn said. though i say ant eye biotics. but i say antee tank kitten
An-tee or an-tie depending on my mood.
I use both. Kinda like Aunt. I say "Ant Pam" or "Aunt Cathy"
Just to stoke this bad boy up, how about the word Semi?
Sem-ee or Sem-eye?
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.
Sem-ee!
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".
Both :)
What's all this talk about seme? The bear thread is over there.
