To-MAY-to or to-MAH-to?

I've never met anyone say po-tah-to. To-mah-to, yes (me!) but not potahto

I feel like this is predominately another "USA vs Rest of the World" poll?

Yes but I think more people around the world say to-MAY-to than to-MAH-to. I say to-MAH-to thought because that just sounds right? xD

I am pretty sure all English speaking (first) countries apart from America say To-Mah-to... if anyone can prove me wrong then do say so.

It's To-Mah-To in all countries that speak REAL English, not horrible American English.

That wasn't very nice. YWS itself is hosted in the US.

I'm not fond of tomatoes anyway, so I don't care..

As long as you understand that someone's talking about that popular, round, red impostor in the vegetable world, does it really matter what you call it?

(For the record, I say to-Mah-to to pretend I have a British accent.)

Let's just call the whole thing off before an argument brews...

I live in Ireland, and I say to-MAY-to
Plus, May's my birthday :3

Interesting. Indians follow Brit English, but mostly, we say Toh-may-toh.
