seriously people, i have never heard anyone ever pronounce it "to-mah-toe" or "po-tah-toe." have you?
cause...it is 2 different distinct words? where I come from anywaytonksy said:i work in a restaurant in georgia that serves both. i hear tom-may-toe and tom-mah-toe but always pot-tay-toe...that's because the british customers i have seem to enjoy calling them "hash browns" not "hashbrowns" like it's suppose to be but 2 different distinct words.

And we do pronounce things in a different way! Like you say ‘caterpillar’ and we say ‘caterpillar.’ And, uh… No, you say ‘a-*loo*-min-um,’ we say ‘a-loo-*min*-yum. You say ‘cen-*tri*-fugal,’ we say ‘centri-*fu*-gal.” You say ‘leisure!’ We say ‘lie-sur-eye-ay.’ Uhh, uh, you say ‘bay-sil’, we say ‘bah-sil,’ and you say ‘erbs,’ and we say ‘herbs!’…because there’s a fucking ‘h’ in it.
I've only seen it as two words here, too.tonksy said:how bizarre.
