I say 'nye-ver' the most.

Aunt is 'aren't'! I would never say it any differently.

'En-velope'. I take the e literally here and much prefer it as such. 😛 However, I can see why people still pronounce it as 'on' from its French roots, seeing as for 'en-suite' you still say 'on'.

Always 'AD-ult' and same Englishy way for address.
