This is an interesting bit on the different uses of the term. Apparently, according to BRITISH n-grams, Airplane is gaining in popularity and, ocassionally, used more often than aeroplane these days. There's hope for you lot yet. Next up? Aluminium.

Check it out:

http://grammarist.com/usage/aeroplane-airplane/

And from there it's a short journey to arguments over the pronunciation of the word tomato.

It's pronounced "mater", what's so hard 'bout that?

Is "mater" in Ye Queens Englishe synonymous with "f**ker"?

It's a mater, like what grows in ya garden next ta taters and unyuns.

...don't forget the goober peas!!!

I haint forgot them, they're down nexta the crik.

...that's right...next to the oker...

I dont know about all that, but I've been told by some Georgians that the phrase "bless yer heart" might apply here.

No. Not even gonna invoke that.

Drove through a part of it in my younger days. Considered staying after I saw some of the ....umm....womenfolk. Its quite possible that they were about 16, but as I understood, it doesnt matter.

What can I say, we're from good Scot-Irish stock. Lots of redheads in these hills. The rumors aren't true though, we just let on like that to keep the Yankees and city-slickers out of our hair. The truth is that most of the women can shoot just as well as the men and I'd say most can skin out a buck just as easily as a man can too. You don't mess with a woman like that, she'll hurt you quick, fast and in a hurry.

It's about time that joker assumed room temperature. Hope someone wraps his sorry hide in a tarp and just chucks his worthless mortal coil in a hole in the ground. Sorry piece of crap should have died years ago.

Well, given my accent I wasnt going to open my mouth lest the locals decide that the cold war was still on. I let my buddies do the talking. By the way, did you know that being a texan offers certain advantages?

Not sure what happened to the Cub Cadets, they used to be great machines. Dad bought one in '83 and we used that thing until I finally sold it in 2005. Only thing I ever had to do with it was sharpen the blades and replace the tires and oil.

And this is where we stop discussing politics. One of the main reasons why THE THREAD!!! has been around for so long is because we don't let this stuff creep in here and polarize things.

He doesnt control anything. He has about the same level of importance as the WH press secretary.

Oh yeah, Texans are highly regarded in Appalachia. We consider them kindred spirits, even if they want to live in an unholy flat land.

I doubt you'd have caught much flak about your accent though, all things considered. We're pretty laid back really, just don't try to tell us how to live and you'll go on livin' just fine. ;)
