On Culture and Whatever-The-Fuck-Potatoes-Are.
Context - Meag is training me to say 'tomayto' instead of 'tomahhto' because she insists 'tomato' has to rhyme with 'potato'.
Cat says
XD Because you're a hero.
And that makes me your bitch. :P
Mea says
XD Of course.
Cat says
That's okay though. <3
I will get you tea and sandwiches and backrubs and things.
Mea says
C:!
Cat says
With tomaytos. >| And now I'm home I can start converting people. Maybe.
Mea says
:D I'm so proud. <3
Cat says
Though I notice that the Japanese say to-mahh-to as well, so.
Mea says
Yeah, but they would also say po-tahh-to.
Cat says
I think they have a different word for potato though. :O Whereas it's the same word for tomato.
Mea says
THEY WOULD STILL SAY PO-TAHH-TO. ;A; AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
Cat says
X'D MAYBE THEY WOULDN'T.
Mea says
THEY TOTALLY WOULD. THAT'S HOW THEIR VOWELS WORK.
Unless they spelled it poteto/poteito which is wtf I don't even.
Cat says
True. :> But. If their word for potato isn't 'potato' and they learned English, they would say 'po-tay-to' because that's the English pronunciation. Hah I just put 'pornunciation'.
Mea says
That's not the point. :[
Cat says
:P Am I out-logicing you?
Mea says
No, you're not.
You can't out-logic me if you're missing my point.
Cat says
Well, I see what you're getting at with their vowels working how you explained...:o
Mea says
The point is, if potato was a Japanese word, it would be pronounced po-tahh-to.
Which makes it okay for them to say to-mahh-to.
Cat says
Aaah, if that is your point, then yes, I do agree with you.
You're very right there. :>
Mea says
Because potato/tomato. :|
Cat says
I see where you were getting at. ^^
I didn't see that you were pointing out the 'if it was though' bit.
Mea says
Ahh. XD
Cat says
...Brb, looking up the Japanese word for potato.
OH.
OHHH.
POTETO.
Mea says
X'D What the fuck.
Cat says
It says 'imo' as well, though.
Mea says
POTETO. THAT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK RIGHT.
Cat says
OMG. Crisps are "potetochippusu".
Mea says
WTF JAPAN.
Cat says
HOW CUTE IS THAT.
Mea says
Actually, speaking of Japan.
Cat says
I WILL TAKE THIS POTETOCHIPPU AND EAT IT.
Go on.
