Hi?

TEACHER SUNDAY IS HERE..

Nowadays “tomahto” is considered British pronunciation and “tomayto” American, but many Americans pronounce tomato {and aunt ) with a broad a.Either pronunciation is considered standard. The only “rule” is to go with the pronunciation you prefer. Either is easily understood by other English speakers.
Tom-ah-toe :smile:
never heard anyone say to-mah-toe...

I say tuh-mar-toe or occasionaly tuh-mar-ter with horrible glottal stops :s-smilie:
