I thought the pronunciation was a US thing, the to May toe. Some other countries use the other pronunciation to Mah toe. That's how my family in Australia says it.

Aren’t we forgetting “tuh-maters”?  As in "Y’all go water them tuhmaters!”

Edit:  One of my " marks escaped!  Had to go get another one!  So I thought I'd add some COLOR!
