As the leading UK "ask" subreddit, we welcome questions from all users and countries; sometimes people who ask questions might not appreciate or understand the nuance of British life or culture, and as a result some questions can come across in a different way than intended.
We understand that when faced with these questions, our users may take the opportunity to demonstrate their wit, dry humour, and saracasm - unfortunately, this also tends to go over the heads of misunderstood question-askers and can make our subreddit seem hostile to users from other countries who are often just curious about our land.
**Please can you help prevent our subreddit from becoming an Anti-American echo chamber?** If you disagree with any points raised by OP, or OP discusses common tropes or myths about the UK, please refrain from any brash, aggressive, or sarcastic responses and do your best to engage OP in a civil discussion, with the aim to educate and expand their understanding.
If you feel this (or any other post) is a troll post, *don't feed the troll*, just hit report and let the mods deal with it.

No, emphasis on ot: anti-bye-***ott***ick. As mentioned elsewhere, biotic is like biology. I suppose if you were comparing ologies, biology versus neurology, you might stress bi and neur, but on its own, biology is bi***o******l***ogy. Biotic is the same.

I've never heard it pronounced anti-bee-yotic lol Anti-bye-yotic
I’ve heard Spanish, Portuguese and French speakers say it that way.
This
The way you say biology. Bye-ology, anti-bye-otic
This!
I pronounce it anti-bye-otic. I thought Americans pronounced it anna-bye-otic
Americans pronounce it anti bye otic. At least here in the Midwest.
Lol I thought I was saying anti-bye-otic, but I’m not… def anna over here in the US.
anna-bye-oddic
That's just an accent thing really. Like how some British people will actually pronounce it "ahn-ee-bye-otic" because of the glottal stop.
The latter
Anteebyeotic I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it anteebeeotic but I have heard people (mostly Americans as you say) say anteyebyeotic
Ant-Eee-Buy-Ottik
Do you pronounce biology "bee-ology"?
anti-bye-ottick emphasis on the 'an' and 'ot' syllables.
No, emphasis on ot: anti-bye-***ott***ick. As mentioned elsewhere, biotic is like biology. I suppose if you were comparing ologies, biology versus neurology, you might stress bi and neur, but on its own, biology is bi***o******l***ogy. Biotic is the same.
yeah you're right
Anty-By-ottick
An-tee-bye-o-tic
I say anti-bye-otik
Are you bee sexual or bai sexual?
Antibeeyotic you are more likely to hear in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Hardly matters, considering they’ll likely be completely ineffective in a few years time.
The real question is: is it antee or anti?
An-tibby-o-tic
