Rumor has it that Sellam Ismail may have mentioned

Tomahto-Tomayto?
Are you pronouncing it correctly, i.e.
"tsoo-zeh"? Or in the Greek
"Zeus" fashion?
We could pull a Linus Torvalds and say "I don't care how it's said as
long as everyone uses it! ;-) ...I have a friend who's actually quite good with
computers still says
he's got an 800 MegaHurt machine...
Maybe he would learn how to pronounce it if you dropped his computer
on his foot 800 million times? :-)
otherwise my vote is with the German enunciation; it
still irks me to
hear people call those German sports cars a "porch")
One of my housemates loves to joke when being passed by one... "look
(in the mirror)... it's a back porch... now it's a side porch...
now, I guess it's a front porch".
And, of course, the punchline, "I'm all done with the painting, but I
gotta tell ya, Lady, that ain't no porch, that's a Ferrari."
