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.
Hahah....haha.....ahahaha.

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