Since people are doing potato polls, I thought I would make one of my own! I pronounce the "a" like in "call." Blame TSonofvulcan; he got me started. LOL, just kidding, T'Son! :blink:

:blink: I use the 'a' sound as in made for both potato and tomato. I'm afterall a *hillbilly* by marriage. It took several years but I've learned to speak hillbilly like a native.

Do you have to translate for non hillybilly speakers? I find I have to do that sometimes. As for the poll at least I stop myself from saying tater instead of potato. :clap:

I"ved lived in various places in this country - and known people from a great many other places. I've never actually heard anyone say the a as in "ahhh" - except when they were jesting.
