Eye-ther mostly, but like with many words I'll alternate between pronunciations! (You still won't catch me pronouncing "decals" like dee-cals though!)

I can't tell if maybe you're joking, but is there another way to pronounce decal? I could in theory imagine someone saying it like "dick-al" but that seems unlikely.

"Deckles", rhyming with "speckles".

Weird, I didn't know people pronounced it dye-cals /s

if you don’t mind me asking, what country are you from? I’ve heard people from the us say ee-ther and dee-cals
