None of this matters in the slightest anyway, because the difference of
opinion is over pronounciation, rather than meaning. You say tom-ay-to,
I say tom-ah-to etc etc.
In projects as international as this, with contributors from as many
countries and cultures, it is the absence rather than presence of such
differences that should be surprising!
