IDAHO SPRINGS. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY
Do You Speak Correctly? /?

Many people pronounce either
'ither" and no doubt think they
are really speaking correctly, but
according to Webster's New Inter
national dictionary, 1920 edition,
the preference is given to ''ether"
(long-e). This is the explanation
given:
Z The pronuncia at ion ether
is both American and English, but
is more prevalent in England
Especially in London and i6 the
south) than in America In the
seventeenth century the word was
pronounced approximately as ather
as shown by Ellis, and according
to the most reliable orthoepists oi
the period ither seems to have
been the preferred pronunciation
succeeding ather in the eighteenth
century. According to Walker
both ether and ither were in gen
eral cultivated use by 1871, sinct
which time the orthoe pists have
favored ether (long e) as being gen
orally preferred by good speakers
