I guess I was first but I've won before :-) When I first came to
the US I quickly learned in a Cornell University cafeteria that,
if I wanted to get it on my hamburger, it was called tomayto! On
the other hand, didn't the quintessential New Englander, Julia
Child, say tomahto?

As I recall, you are quite correct but it certainly seems that
Smith really took! My own accent and intonation dates from
college days (not Cornell) I'll admit tho' I don't get much
chance to check it.

I believe Ms. Child passed away about 2 years ago. I'm
surprised no one (that I know of) has come forward with
a biography.

They did. You are late to this.A biography came out about 2-3 years
ago..before she died. Called Appetite for Life, by Noel Riley Fitch.
She was the official biographer. Look it up.

AnneDee, figgers.. neither of those pronunciations are DICTIONary
acceptible. The 'to' is pronounced 'tuh' or 'teh' (t&)... no O sound.

Thanks!!!

Great bit! No computer special effects!

That was cute. :-)

But, like most typos on Usenet, I ignore such things for the sake of
peace...

Dad always gets on me for the use of the word "got". <G>

I just say "Yes Dear".

Do you use 'got' instead of 'gotten' ?

The argument generally starts over simple statements like "I have got to
get some sleep because it's getting late and I have to work tonight".
Stuff like that.

He dislikes the "got" and tries to get me to leave it out of the
sentence. <G>

I tend to use "got" to emphasize and he says it sounds "ignorant".

<sigh>

I never say, 'gotten.' I think it may be incorrect. But I have to check
myself not to use it because it is on the tip of my tongue.
