Where does "An-Tie" even come from? Both UK and US English have it as AN-Tee with a slight variation in the ''an" part.

i dont

Auntie Hero

I pronounce it as "fraudulent lead single that stole the shine of the main banger of the album aka Lavender God"

An-tee. I can't think of a time in my life I've ever pronounced it differently.

The way it's sung in the song.. 

 

the way taylor sings it but when i say anti by itself, it's usually ant tie

i pronounce it as smash-hero

You know, it's funny. I'll always pronounce the word "an-tee", and that's how I've always pronounced the song, but for some reason, in my head the Rihanna album is "an-tie"

Same - I feel like I've heard rih pronounce anti as an-tie, that's probably why

Gonna be honest, I thought it was An-Tie at first because that's what I called Rihanna's album.

 

Taylor - once again - taught me better! 

An-tee, but yeah, I agree with everyone here that before Taylor, I thought it was An-tie

I sing it the correct way but call it An-Tie when referring to it because I like to be different. 

 

I flip flop between both I'm now realizing  

i always pronounce the word as an-tea as im british and thats how we say it anyway

If there isn't already a drag performer called Anne Tea Hero, there should be.

 

she literally pronounces it one way and one way only in the song, dafuq

why would you even mention this out loud?

I do it correctly, but on the other hand I always tend to pronunce Houdini like How-Dini 

it's me hi i'm the problem it's me

Normally I would say ant-tie hero" but ever since the song and muva's brainwashing I now pronounce it "antea-hero" 

I say An-tee. And while the song is playing in the car and I'm singing along I sing it as "an-tie hero" just to twist it around. But I would never read Anti as "An-tie"

I used to do An-Tie but then i learned both pronunciations are accepted so now idgaf

 

But why people were always saying "an-tie Britney" when talking about Avril, Pink etc. if the pronounciation is so wrong?

 

I always thought you pronounce it like that but English is not my first language. So I was actually confused when I heard Taylor's song for the first time.
