I'm half blind from my drops and half a asleep, but just wanted to ask if you guys agree on this being the definitive way to say these words?
seems to me I've heard some of them not conforming to this.
i'll listen tomorrow again.

Re: pronounciation
LOL! I'd say that's pretty much the English pronunciation, except that neither and either's spoken with the "ei" as "ee", in some parts. I pronounce it as "eye".

or was it an American speaking, I can't tell...
Re: pronounciation
I think he was American, but he did well with the words - probably due to the fact that there's not a huge difference between the way we speak. Our spelling might be different, but pronunciation's pretty much the same. I think we notice it more where words like "missile" and "you're" are used. We pronounce the"ile" as aisle, the Americans say "missle". "You're" always sounds the same as "your", whereas we sound it with a definite difference, but since some English people even get mixed up with "your" and "you're" - what the heck! : )

Re: pronounciation
Your (as in something which's yours) - rhymes with chore, core and door.
You're (abbreviated from "you are") rhymes with pure, cure - but NOT sure! LOL!!
You're (abbreviated from "you are") rhymes with pure, cure - but NOT sure! LOL!!

Re: pronounciation
You probably pronounce it in the Canadian/American way, so it's normal for you. I think it's best to differentiate the words though, otherwise some people tend to put the wrong spelling down if they need to write "your" and "you're", and it's one thing which bugs me! LOL.

Re: pronounciation
When you type,I suppose it comes down to how quickly the brain translates the words to the fingers, and that's why we might get typos. Some faux pas are going to happen with even the most proficient of typists, but getting the above examples mixed up just makes me think that they didn't learn English Language well enough. : (

Probably. Despite there being some wonderful male authors and poets (the old ones were mostly male - Shakespeare, Dickens, Wordsworth ....) it's known that women take to English better than males do, and that males seem more adapted to the mechanics of maths than us women (generally speaking, this is). The latter's certainly true in my case. : (
