I always thought that whole "potatoe" thing was a media scam... and one of
the worst teaching ideas of the late 80's.


At the time, I went into a local (Texas) K-Mart store. They had a sale
on a large stack of cans. The cans were OK, but the sale sign called
the stuff "tomatoe soup".

"Writing to read" they called it... drove me nuts when they had homework where
all the words looked mispelled... luckily the concept didn't last too long...

I guess some people thought "potatoe" looked more correct than
"potato". I'm not sure how.

And in another matter, for some strange reason a lot SAY it as if it
was "puhtaytuh".
