on this note, do you pronounce it "anty" or "arnty". I say the latter and my DP says the former, we can never agree!

PS: i use aunty x

Arnty. I think it depends where you come from. Anyway, Brummies say Arnty.

pronounce it anty. although I don't think I ever said it to an aunt, we just called them by their first name.

so are aunty and auntie pronunced differently? I say them both the same (an-tee), I thought the querey was more over the correct spelling?

I have always used Auntie. Have just checked in dictionary and either version is correct, although the plural is Aunties.

I spell it Auntie, but I pronounce it Untee (can't spell it untie, because I don't pronounce it as untie lol - it's untee! )

Aunty looks wrong to me too.

The query was over the correct spelling, just wondering how people said it/if there are variations.
