It's a British word. My-ther is the correct pronunciation.
People who pronounce it Mi-ther (like myself, on occasion) do so because that's how they read it and maybe because that's how they're used to pronouncing it, not because it's right.

It’s my-ther, with an “eye” sound. David is a northern lad and that’s how we pronounce it.
I say "my-ther" personally.

British people pronounce it eye-ther, but american people pronounce it Ee-ther (like the sound in Bee).

The devs themselves say No My-ther. But that's because they're French-Canadian.
I always assumed it's the same way you pronounce Wither.
No American would pronounce it "me-ther."
I love this topic. 😂
One of those things you always wonder on the fly but never remember to explore later.
I always questioned that myself and I end up using both pronunciation honestly.
No mither, I just googled it.
As far as I know its pronounced No My-ther with an "eye" sound.
But in the end it doesn't really matter, since people will know what you are talking about regardless of pronunciation.
2 of my friends are from Canada and 3 of them are from NYC, they all pronounce it like ''me-ther'' or "mi-ther"
