What is it? Hatch?

the letter 'h'

I wouldnt say no to either one....!

Of course, how stupid.....

Just can't bring myself to say 'tomaydo' or 'wadder', it feels so wrong.

Many words are not pronounced correctly depending on where you're from. Where I grew up it was Haitch and that's the way I'll always say it. It supposedly originated from Roman Catholic education which would be exactly what my father had.

Yes. Unless you like making your life difficult.

Why would you do that? There isn't an "r" in the word tomato. Ahh hell say it any way you want.

Wrong ... it is to may toe not tom (like in tom turkey) ayy toe

I don't go to Quizno's (that rat advert a couple of years ago put me right off!) although tbh there are more Subway delis round our way.

I can get away with saying tomato rather than tomayto......in NJ virtually all the Subway staff seem to be from India and learned British English before moving to the States.

Come to think of it...it is NJ State law that you can't put petrol in your car and the service station attendants have to do it. Most of them in my experience are from either India or Turkey. I do wonder if these guys pool their money together, one of them gets a business investor visa and then one-by-one bring their relatives into the US to work for/with them?

Here all the gas station workers are from Russia...

I've become so aware of saying haitch instead of aitch. But thats not just a UK/US thing, my posh friends at uni would call me out about it as well.

I always get my husband to order 'wadder' for me. I really dont understand why I can understand them but they cant understand me. Probably because i was brought up watching american cartoons/films.

Ok I'm intrigued, who's tom turkey?

Give in, it'll make your life easier..

I say "bangs" instead of fringe, absolutely hate the sound of the word bangs but it makes my life so much easier!!!

Well, I never! It's a male turkey!!! You learn something every day, esp on BE
