I say ant-I.
I don't know why, but I do. Maybe it's because I don't know anyone who says ant-E. *shrug*

It depends on what the next words is for anti-. Most of the time I'll say 'antee' but sometimes I'll also say 'ant-I'.
I say 'thuh'. >.<
Oooh, how do you pronounce 'orange'? I had a huge debate with my friend on it, and we actually surveyed people in the library once. Of course I won with my 'are-inge' pronounciation because we're in New York. She lost with 'oar-inge' and someone asked her if she came from Florida.
For the 'u's in words, it depends. I'll do it if I feel like it and sometimes I won't. As for the theatre thing, I was taught that 'theater' was wrong and it was spelled 'theatre'. I didn't know that people spelled it the other way.

wait.... Hold on.
Isn't it that you say th-uh when the following word begins with a consanent and you say thE(ee) when teh next word begins with a vowel.
Say the end really fast.
and i thought ante was something you wager when you bet... confused

It's also accents, apprently when Canadians say about, you guys hear aboot. When we think we're pronouncing it the same way.
Some Canadians also stress their "a"s Like in car we pronounce it Ke-ar .

The MoUsY spell-checker There was also the art teacher who emphasised that "colour" has a U in it. an english teacher at my school once deducted points from a British girl's paper for using the wrong spelling of "gray" and for putting the "u" in colour. which is the proper spelling, anyway? is it "gray" or "grey?" i can never figure it out.

Grey in British English (and some other places too), gray in American English. Gray is also a surname. I'm glad that Australian English usually uses British spelling.

I honestly cannot say really. Whatever comes out I guess. With pronoucing something like that I never truly think about them before I say them. It may sound bad I know, but it's just never a thought that crosses my mind. sweatdrop

The way people pronounce the words 'asume' and 'due/ dew' annoy me greatly. Asume simply because either the s and u are too pronounced, or not pronounced enough, and due/dew because most Americans pronounce it 'doo'. It'd 'de-ew'!!!
Anyway. -.-; Other than that, I'm usually fine, though some dialects annoy me a lot. Like a friend of mine always says 'fud' instead of 'food', and other things too.
But to be honest, I don't have much right to complain because my accent is mostly American. It annoys me, but at least I'm not Geordie (I want a typical English accent, so no offence is meant). But there is one thing, I always lengthen the 'a' in b*****d (not that I swear often). Not on purpose, I just do.

I speak weird. I have Jersey-meets-country bumpkin accent.
I HATE people who say shtreet and shtrong and shtretch. So I over-enunciate my S's sometimes. It makes me sound like a priss.

I've always said 'ant-I.' 'Ant-E' just sounds wrong and mispronounced.
As for 'the,' it depends on the context. If I'm putting emphasis on the word (meaning that, if it were typed, the word would be italicized), I'll say 'thee.' Otherwise, I'll probably pronounce it as 'thuh.'
