I use the ay sound for tomato and potato, but the ah sound in guacamole.

I'm sorely disappointed at the lack of a "Tomato, Potato, green shit" option.

I'm thinking "potahto" is some regional old people thing. It might be more common in certain areas, but I don't imagine many children who go to school or are exposed to TV would prefer it over the generally accepted pronunciation.

As for me, the day-ta pronunciation tends to drive me nuts

Also, I've always said query as quair-ee and not queer-y, and I spell out ASCII

I've never met a Canadian who said to-mah-to.

To-may-to, Po-tay-to, don't eat the guacamole.

I'd like to take this opportunity to gloat about the fact that I don't have an accent. Hooray for being from Cleveland.
