Here in the U.S. we were taught in school that normally when you have a single consonant followed by a vowel that the vowel preceding the consonant is long. The reason we pronounce it pee-ta is that we spell it "pita." So the "a" after the "t" in "pita" makes the "i" long, having the "ee" sound; and with "tomato" the "o" makes the "a" long rendering "toe-may-toe" rather than "toe-mah-toe."

Each of those branches considered themselves "separate" from the other. So, I'll give you that one. But objecting to being referred to as a Brit I don't really get. You are all on the British Isles.

Fair point. I'm an American, obviously, but my family is English from Cheshire, Middlewick, England,is which, of course, is neither Irish or Scottish (do we even need to include the Welsh?) However, your analogy is not quite a fair comparison... Brazil is on another continent and Canada is, well, Canada! As well as having been tinged by the French. I mean, what's all that "aboot, eh?" Their money is called the 'Looney' for Pete's sake! That'd be like you having a currency called the "Nutter" and the expecting the rest of the world to take an economic crisis within said country seriously. I think a better analogy may be calling someone who's a Southerner a New Yorker and vice versa, or calling anyone from any other part of the U.S. Californian! :) Finally, besides having to refer to almost everyone from the Isles as Brits, probably up around 85-90% of Americans don't realize that the United Kingdom isn't truly a country, but a complex governmental arrangement based on agreements and traditions dating back centuries that's evolved overtime and, for lack of a better term at the moment, is somewhat a type of alliance between the countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. I know that the UK is academically stated to be a 'Constitutional Monarchy' within the field of Political Science, but a good number are unaware that it has no such Constitution, most especially in the form Americans think of it... as a single, concise, enumerated document, lying about somewhere, outlining how the Federal Goverment should function. Just so that you're aware as well, a good portion of our population also pretty much seem to think that England, Britain, Great Britain, and United Kingdom are all interchangeable terms with essentially the same meaning and pretty much use them as such when speaking. Of course, that could be partly the fault of the English themselves. While they were here, before we booted them out and gave them their pink slipped, they referred to themselves as "Brits" and "British", kind of lumping anyone from England, Wales, Scotland, and, at the time, all of Ireland under their magnanimous control and lead. On the bright side, it could be worse though. People could not know that the UK and Ireland make up the Isles, think that you're part of the Continent proper, and confuse you with a Snail-eating Toad Sucker!

Just a small correction before the IRA goes apeshit here... the Irish are not British citizens. Northern Ireland was kept by Great Britain by colonizing it with Protestant English settlers, offering them small parcels of land, and essentially pushed the Irish out of Northern Ireland. For all intents and purposes, they were driven from a good chunk of their own country. The Irish are, however, citizens of Ireland, which is now independent.

In London though in particular it amalgated as an insult. Tarts are tasty and you buy them. Often cheaply. Dowry was a big thing back then so a nice girl from a poor family with a low dowry came first. They would be occasional ass hats promising their dowry to sweet talk them for some hanky panky then go off to some arranged marriage with another wealthy family. But history teachers won't really touch on the relationship between paying a woman for marriage and paying her for hanky panky. Or the abusive relationship those with too much treated those with too few. There's also pastry tarts which are much more common verbally.

If we spelled it pitta we would pronounce it pitta but we spell it pita so we pronounce it pita. I would guess that all English speakers aren't handling this word authentically anyway.

I don't think Americans are truly wrong, considering much of American English is a mixture of Irish, Spainish, French, and many more, so the differing accents slowly changed the way we pronounce things.

You two are great! Keep it up.

Fun Fact: you know what one of the most hated, feared and controversial books ever published was? The dictionary. Not because we had a difference of opinion in spelling or pronunciation, but because it educated! It was hugely feared by the rulers of the time. Here's a little gem: Read the section titled "American English Dictionaries" on the Wikipedia page for the history of the dictionary to understand how and why our two countries differ in pronunciation. It is because our great American dictionary pioneer, Noah Webster, thought there were superfluous letters in English (British) words, so in his life long work producing an American standard dictionary, he literally changed the standard spelling of words within our version of English. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary

And did a half arsed job of it thus why American English is full of orphan cognates, that is to say words that are derived from a common root but spelt completely differently because they only bothered to change one of them. For instance the metallic element suffix is mutated in Aluminium but not Sodium or Chromium for example. Not the only example of weirdness with Latin suffixes the reformulation or -our is highly inconsistent for example. Those are just the worst ones with the most numerous orphan cognates there are countless other examples but listing them all would take forever lol.

I'm choosing to read this comment in the spirit in which I hope it was delivered - a desire to continue the dialogue. I would think most would recognize that referring to Webster's work as a "half arsed job" might come across as a bit strident. Perhaps even indicative of a constricted paradigm of the complexities and vagaries of the English lexicon. Peace.

Well to be fair it was most certainly a pretty much impossible task for one person at one single time. Not only is the language extremely complex with millennia of history behind it's evolution making it pretty much impossible for anyone to study every word, it's etymology and relations to other words properly but it's constantly in flux too. If someone ever actually wanted to do the job of standardising English they would have to have set up a committee full of experts to form a standardisation committee in perpetuity honestly and then most importantly convince everyone to do what the committee recommended when they attempted to standardise both pronunciation and spelling across the board. Other languages do have such things though with varying degrees of actual success, mostly far from actually coming close to actually succeeding in getting everyone on the same page mind you. Trying to tinker with something so complex and evolving without committing to it long term really was never going to get the job done right and would only result in additional complexity.

Seraphina S Actually Webster created very few new spellings or pronunciations. The majority of the words he included in his new dictionary were already old, established spellings and pronunciations in Britain. For instance, "color" was already an accepted spelling variation for "colour" in England. He did create some completely original words, but most of them were not popular and never really caught on. And aluminium is spelled the way it is in the UK because some English chemists, on a whim, decided to change the spelling and pronunciation of the word "aluminum" (which was coined by the metal's discoverer, Humphrey Davey) simply because it sounded more "Greek" to them. It has nothing to do with other elements or their spellings. They didn't change tantalum or platinum, etc.

Lellobeetle ...because England didn't know how to pronounce, or spell, English. England had been occupied by France for 200 years, and the English language was outlawed. That's why they use the U in some words, and there are so many French words and phrases. Nobody had any English words or phrases that they could find to replace them, so the French was assimilated. America was a bit upset at England anyway, so the linguists in America just put their efforts into correcting the language. Funny when you think about it, but American is actually more correct. It's even starting to be the standard now.

I read a very interesting article once about how the American and British accents split off and the change actually occurred on the British side. It always fascinated me because when I listened to the BBC newscasters, sometimes it sounded like they didn't have an accent at all. The biggest change came in when you guys changed to a non-rhotic accent (saying Petah instead of PeteR). You two are hilarious.

The british a sound in tomato and vase is actually the same a sound we use in french. Indeed, there are quite a lot of words in british english that resemble to french words.

I've always personally felt as though a more expensive fancier flower holder is the long A and a cheaper one is the short. For the word vase that is.

We say vase both ways. I don't think it even depends on regional accent. It just depends on the person. Like the word Either, which I find myself saying both, like Ee-ther or Eye-ther.

About 80 percent of the entries in any English dictionary are borrowed, mainly from Latin. Over 60 percent of all English words have Greek or Latin roots. In the vocabulary of the sciences and technology, the figure rises to over 90 percent. About 10 percent of the Latin vocabulary has found its way directly into English without an intermediary (usually French).
