I suppose it depends on one's regional dialect and accent.

I say 'ant-I' and 'ant-E'. (I much prefer 'ant-I'.) ;P My tongue is very confused. I tend to say 'thee', but a 'thah' can come out. For a while I even said "gill-o-teen". -_-;; I say alot of things really incorrectly. The whole stress-of-the-syllables is hard for me. Which is why I like Spanish; it's easy for me to emphasize the right part. It's always the second to last vowel, unless otherwise marked. ^-^ I have almost a hint of a Boston accent. Not often, but sometimes I'll omit (sp?) an 'r'. Thank goodness you can't hear me.

I use ant-i, as well as both thee and thuh.
For some reason, though, I always mispronounce "strategy" as "stragety." Hm. Strategic tragedy?

I seriously thought that 'thEE' was used when before a vowel, and 'thUH' was used before a word begining with a consonant.
Such as;
ThEE author was praised highly for his latest novel that was based on thUH second world war.

Such as; ThEE author was praised highly for his latest novel that was based on thUH second world war. True. One word that has gotten to me though was 'nEEther' or 'nIether'. Is one of them the correct pronunciation? I normally pronounce it 'nEEther'.

I tend to say ant-i. Not sure why that is, but I think it's because I watched a lot of British tv as a kid. I picked up some of the pronunciatons. I don't say shedule, though, biggrin

I say "ant-i" and "th-e" most of the time but it varies slightly depending on what word goes after.
As for schedule pronounced as "shedule", my friend told me this nifty reminder: schedule should be pronounced with the "sc" because you don't pronounce "school" as "shool".

That's what I said when my friends were discussing whether it should be sked-ule or shed-ule. I think this idea sounds kind of funny.

Because I think I've heard George Bush say it that way.

Although, I've never used 'Ant-I', and if I have, I never noticed.

I find people saying Japanese words differently from me.
Like I say 'Mahn-gah,' and they say 'Mayn-gah.'

I always think of saying 'ant-I' as an American thing, I think that alot of these things are just due to where you come from.

Again, it's a thing which comes naturally in speech.
As for ant-I and ant-E, I mainly use ant-E, but again, I have used ant-I. An example would be ant-I-Sematism (only one I can think of >_<).
I'm English, so the correct American pronunciation doesn't concern me (as far as I'm concerned, we should all have recieved pronunciation, but even I don't have that, so I can't complain), but I wouldn't trust George Bush with language matters...
Speaking of recieved pronunciation, does anyone here lengthen their 'a's in words like grass and bath?
I'm trying to do that, but changing your accent's hard.
And on the subject of manga, it should, technically be 'mahn-gah', or if it was 'mayn-gah', it should be spelt 'meinga', because of the way the Japanese alphabet is. But you can't always trust Romaji.
