See, I go either way on that kind of spelling. I’ve seen the variations all over:
Tomatoe - tomato
Arapahoe - Arapaho
For example, In the Dallas area, there’s a street named, “Arapaho.” In Denver, there’s a road named, “Arapahoe.”
But, “Tommorrow?!”
SHEESH!
No, P-O-T-A-T-O-(E)
Notice the final parenthesis. Quayle (sic) was reading off a flash card, where the final (E) indicated that one inserted an E when pluralizing. He prompted a student giving a response for an unnecessary (E). His confusion was perfectly understandable for someone not familiar the stoopid flash cards. The LSM just couldn't pass up the opportunity to make him look bad. And Qua(y)le, unlike you, did not have spel chequer available to him.
