Bad_service is the best service of all... it never fails to deliver!

[arxev]

Okay, stop groaning. Over in bad_service, amethystcitrine makes a perfectly reasonable post about not being able to get pizza at a pizza place. Five times.

While most of the comments are either sympathy or "yeah that's probably a front," thenodrin says that amethystcitrine just isn't being fair. And also, stop being mean to Pizza Hut

silly American's with their z's and maytos.

[goose_entity]

anyone who is not American?

Seriously, there's way more people who say toMAHto than toMAYto, because most people who speak English are not American!

[dehaywardati]

the mighty authoritative and never wrong wikipedia entry would disagree with you, if we assume ALL americans say toMAYto and all non-americans say toMAHto...

[goose_entity]

yes, because Wikipedia is authoritative....

[coendou]

I'm going to go with wikipedia and its citations over your own word, unless you have anything to back it up...

[goose_entity]

because you are accepting Wikipedia as authoritative?

Sheesh.

[teddybang]

Have you ever actually looked at population statistics, like, anywhere? The population of the US is bigger than the population of the UK, Australia, and New Zealand combined. Amazing what 90 seconds on Google can teach you.

Also, while I'm sure they exist somewhere, I've never once met a Canadian who pronounced it toMAHto.

[goose_entity]

you're absolutely right. The issue is definitely demographics, reliability of population statistics, and the use of Wikipedia as a primary source.

The problem is not the ethnocentric microcephalus who said "who the frick says to-MAH-toe anyway."

So there you go - you win, tra la laa.
