Valeris 2 Posted May 28, 2004 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueCrystal 0 Posted May 28, 2004 :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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted May 29, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
