Sorry. Rant over.
It can be Peninsular. As in Peninsular War 1807 - 1814
Jesus I'd hate to be the one to ask you whether it should be pronounced tomato or tomateo, scone or sgone
The traditional debate is whether it's pronounced "tomayto" or "tomarto". I dread to think what kind of low-life, gutter-dwelling subhuman scum would call it a "tomateo". Truly sickening.
Just spoken to an American woman on the phone who pronounced "route" as "rout". Ignorant, redneck halfwit - surely everyone knows that a "rout" is something that happens to Charlton most weekends.

Look 'ere!!... Its not easy to try to spell something the way you'd pronounce it.
Tomayto / Tomateo... Whats the difference when you try to say them!!

I see where you're coming from now. I was reading "tomateo" as "tom-at-eo". Anyway, it's wrong either way, it's "tomarto" if you're remotely civilised.

Sorry to break this to you Micky, but the guy who founded Nike says it's pronounced Nikey, as in, to rhyme with Micky.
Trouble is he only seemed to correct everybody about 25 years later. Old boys like me got used to the old pronunciation! A bit like Kim Bassinger later becoming Kim "Bay-singer".
If I remember correctly, I've heard native speakers pronounce 'an idea of' like 'an idear of', as if there was a letter 'r' at the end of the word 'idea'.
And a similar case. I'm a fan of Depeche Mode and Dave Gahan, their frontman released a solo song named 'Saw Something' a few years ago. There's a line 'I saw it' which he sings like 'I saw rit'. Why? The word saw doesn't end with r but w. I always find it quite strange.
Sue Barker does it all the time as does Barry Davies.
It's actually the same case as the ones I mentioned above, right? An imaginary letter 'r' added to the end of a word which subsequently affects the pronunciation of the next word? Am I right?

You got it Jessie. That's precisely what I'm on about.
Can't think why none of you have asked Mandy Anderson-Myers opinion on matters of pronunciation. She has a way with words and must have plenty of time on her hands at the moment, so would probably welcome enquiries.

I think you'll find there's a Belgium in this universe and one in another, parallel, universe, so that's two Belgiums.

Tomateo sounds like something The Chuckle Brothers would say.

Indeed. But not in the context it's been used on here
Has the season not been to your liking... ah ok!

It's Katrien (rhymes with latrine)
My-re (imagine mire as two syllables and pronouncing the "r")
They rhyme words in songs that don't rhyme, that's the worst part of it.
This morning I heard "Egg-sit" for Exit.

Let's call the whole thing off.
